I've had my Giant Quick E hybrid bike since Oct last year and have covered 1k miles, it was dongled soon after delivery and since then it has developed a creaking when I pedal. It's more annoying than worrying and I'm fairly sure the plastic panels around the motor are flexing with the frame and 'creaking'. I had the drop the motor 3 times because the first dongle was kaput.
After swapping the cassette at the weekend I sprayed some silicon in the gaps but the creaking is now much worse. Has anyone had similar noises on their Giant and if so did you solve it? I know the battery rattles so I have a rubber strap to take out the slack. I imagine the road E and others that have the batteries faired into the frame have similar plastic panels.

Apart from that it's a great bike, my commute is 50 mins which is same as I can drive, through the A14 upgrade chaos and, I'm not knackered by Friday
