On the subject of noisy Hub motors

This new machine is by far the noisiest of the three Ebikes I own, paradoxically the first one, the Viking Eco stepper was the cheapest by far, and has always been very quiet, the motor only ever emitting a pleasing light hum, even at maximum power.

The second machine is my converted Brompton which was noisy for some years, and just recently I stripped the motor, which proved to be in excellent condition internally despite the noise, and now after greasing it is as quiet as the Viking

Meanwhile the third bike the "Big Bear" seems to be quieting down somewhat after 250 miles, and the noisy rear disc brake seems better too and may well be bedding in.
