Hi Folks,
Long time luker of this website - I finally ended up getting an ebike kit about a month back. I bought a 29" 350w Green Pedel kit from a local(ish) supplier. So far, I have been absolutely loving it! Coming from a Jetson Bolt Pro, its been an absolute treat!
However, today I noticed that the bike had a bit of an unusual vibration. It seems to be coming from the rear of the bike, most noticeable when just rolling it across my apartment (as the floors are nice and flush). I cant figure out what the heck is causing it. So far ive done the following:
- Checked the brakes - they are fine, no rubbing
- Nothing it rubbing or hitting the tire
- Chain seems fine, vibration happens when the chain is not moving
- Tried rolling back and forth with motor off, on, and on in 'walk' mode - vibration always present
- Checked tire for flat spots, rim bulges, cracks - nothing out of the ordinary
- deflated and inflated the tire/reseated the tube
- spokes are all tight
Its really throwing me for a loop. No noise is present, just the vibration. I am thinking that maybe its something inside the actual motor, but I am not technical enough to diagnose something like that.
I appreciate any insight!
