Weird "Click" sound happening peirodically whenever I break sometimes
-
Noticed this on my last ride before the big ice storm came in. Braking hard sometimes I hear an audible "click" sound. I don't know if something is wrong with my motor (I pray to god there isn't) or if it's just a quirk of the motor itself.
I don't want to have to go and buy a new motor (If I do, I'll probably look for an aftermarket motor if possible, I've heard they exist).
I notice it more with the Sequoia than others, though I haven't been able to test on others due to
ice
lots of ice
Video with decent audio to go with it113 volts?! I could lick that!

@loaffette First thing to check before anything else is if those hub bolts are nice and tight. Loose axle bolts are notorious for causing a number off weird noises and behaviour.
They don't need to be cranked down real hard but any play can allow the axle to shift a bit and create odd noises. If you've had them off before for a tire change or general maintenance try adding a removable threadlocker (not the permanent stuff) to keep them from backing out over time x

@lia So turns out I had two hub bolts that weren't too tight.
Tightened those suckers up and I'll check on it tomorrow. Hopefully all of the ice should have melted and I'll get to go back outside and start riding again :)
