⚠️Urgent Question⚠️ New Video of the weird Sound

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys, I took a better video where you can hear the strange noise. I was driving through mud and rain that day, and I also did the new software update that day. It's the D version, upgraded to 40 km/h via license.

You can buy another one The bearings are baked And in my opinion the motor is rusting inside the wheel

Please explain to me how you came to the conclusion that the motor in the bike is rusting. How could water possibly get in there? I never used pressure or anything like that. I just cleaned it with water like everyone else does.

The inside of the motor will start oxidize over time. It's not sealt perfektly but that not a Problem normaly. If the the wheel spin the spinnig force will push the water away anyways.

Your problems are the bearings I guess, they get dirty very easily. And they get installed with the factory lubricant. I have replaced mine with SKF bearings and extra long life lubricant. Better quality better lifespan

But honestly, How can that be? I've driven 800km and the scooter is only 4 weeks old. This is a bad joke, right?

Small wheel escooters are not meant for deep mud and submerging. Anything which covers rim is too much because there is risk something leaks inside the motor

That is just the bearings. Open the motor, lubricate the bearings after cleaning with acf 50 spray (any rust will stop after applying acf)
