I have an old Brompton 48v Sparticle extreme.
The hub motor has sometimes made a clunking noise instead of engaging, and that has been getting worse recently, followed by a hi frequency clicking sound.
Today it all got a bit nasty and it sounds like it's stripped a gear. All it offers is a crazy noise instead of forward motion.
I might take it apart later- I'm guessing that they have nylon gears or something, are they available as spares? Is it all going to ping apart irreparably?
