Clicking noise, possibly from motor

[marc.knuckle]

hi guys.

i have noticed for a while now a clicking noise that seems to be being made while something is revolving i.e. speeds up the faster i go.

i have ruled out the pedals, chain and cogs on the chain ring and cassett by just using the throttle so none of the above were moving around and it still clicked.

its hard to diagnose as if i do it while the bike is stationary so i can get really close to the bike, no sound. if i am on the bike, thus adding downward pressure to all the components, it clicks.

could this be the motor or something maybe more obvious i am missing?

i will be unhappy if it is the motor as i only bought the kit in Nov 2012, 8 months old from cyclezee and the overall package is excellent but not cheap.

thanks for looking guys.

It could be anything, but often it's the spokes, so check them first.
There was a case on ES - another fairly new Ezee motor- that had broken teeth on the gears, so if the spokes don't fix it, you have to remove the side of the motor to check the gears.
