Get everything working, @tomi-rc? Hit some really rough road today and no movement at all!

The mount is solid. I still have a problem with the motor that needs to be addressed. It makes some noises, don’t know if its bearing related or what. But i only rode it for about a mile, then had the motor problem. I don’t know what to do. Thanks.
What kind of sound? I get clicking sometimes that seems to come from the motor axle or drive pulley. Unknown what it is
Wow sounds like metal rubbing? Is the motor on or off? Is your belt super tight?
It’s off. I don’t know if the belt is too tight. But it’s definitely not loose.
Should be firm but flexible. When I poke one side it reaches the screw on the tb mount. Is your motor pulley touching the mount maybe?
I don’t think it touches. But it sounds like it could be a possibility. Could it be something that got inside the motor?
Take the motor off and see how it sounds and you can isolate it more.

Then add the variables back in and test once each part is installed

Sounds like the circlip rubbing against the shaft of the motor. Try a drop of oil, if that clears the sound you know what it is.

You saved me man! Today i dropped a little bit of oil and the noise dissapeared. I’m so glad it was that. Thanks!!!
I’m glad i could be of service!
Yeah, oil definitely helps. I like it how everything rolls much better… Makes a difference if your riding 30-100 miles week. Usually every other week I re-grease/clean bearings from all the dirt and grime.
