i have a italic tommy lux which seems to be an italian make but cannot find any info on it. It has a problem, on starting up the hub motor makes a series of noises which resemble a hammer hitting a concrete slab every few seconds or so. The motor acts as if it tries starting, eventually starting up quietly and smooth riding for a few seconds until it starts again. Tried lifting it up, same thing, battries check out ok, throttle checks out ok, its apparent its becoming a hub issue.
The only other thing is that with the hammering noice, the axle seems to jump at the same time as the noise.
Ive yet to open the hub but wondering if anyone have an idea whay it could be ? its an old bike with servo brakes.
