So I have a single click noise if I hit full throttle or E brake. I’ve been thinking it was my axle slightly twisting in the torque arms but it’s not and the sound has actually gotten louder. The sound is definitely coming from inside the hub motor as I also considered it was the freewheel but it sounds like it’s coming from the opposite side. Maybe a magnet or a bearing but the click noise is only when I engage full throttle or ebreak. If I use even half throttle the sound is not noticeable, strange. Also removed the rear brake caliber to eliminate that and that was not it. The spokes are definitely not making the noise and almost 100% sure it’s inside the hub.
I’ve been hearing it for the last couple of weeks and I thought it was my suspension linkage so I just took all of that apart cleaned and re-greased and then figured out the noise is actually inside the hub motor.
What do you guys think
I know the ultimate diagnose is to open it up but trying to get some insight of what this could possibly be. As mentioned it’s definitely not a single click noise from the axle shifting in the drop outs as I put the bike upside down last night and gave it full throttle and the axle is super sturdy with the clicking sound still there.
Edit: the hub motor is mxus 3K turbo 5T
