I have a new Front hub motor that runs smoothly yet as well as the normal hum in operation has a slight but noticeable intermittent "chafing" noise rather like a brake block catching, shut the throttle and the noise disappears completely. It comes in between 10 to 12 mph but goes above and below those speeds.
Is this noise likely to get worse or better, my other Ebike (a pedelec) has never had such a noise.
It isn't very loud, is this a typical situation with some motors?
Also, are these motors intended to be capable of pulling away from rest using the throttle alone? i tried this once and the noise and vibration was such I won't be doing it again!
Advice would be appreciated.
