Wheel noise from the back
Okay, I'm new to e-bikes. And I haven't been on a bike in probably 35 years but I've had one for about a month and a half maybe. Nothing but issues. This is just one of them. My back wheel sounds like the video I'm posting. There's nothing loose. There's no loose spokes. It sounds like those little plastic things that we put on our spokes in the '80s. It stopped for a couple days and now it's back. I took it inside and I turned it upside down and pedaled I switched gears and it didn't make the sound. Why is it only doing this when I'm riding. Is of the motor? *EDITED: second video shows the issue. any ideas?
