Rear Hub Motor Making Weird Noise

[UniversalModder]

Hi guys I have a problem that just began today my rear hub motor is making a weird noise whenever I try to give it some power not sure what's causing it, I tested all the cables from the controller and nothing seems to be wrong not sure if anyone could help thanks in advance. Here is a link to the video that shows the noise.

Most hub motors are geared. Meaning they have a planetary gearset to allow the motor to spin faster than the wheel. Chances are one of those planet gears is messed up or lacking grease. Time for disassembly, either by you or your LBS.

Cheers.

I'm having the exact same issue, but only on extremely steep slopes. Do you get power spikes on your hud when it's making these noises?

Yes I’m have this issue too, mine is stiff as well as noisy. I opened it up but I don’t think there are any gears in the voilamart 1500w rear hub motors-?

That looks like a direct drive motor from the photos but it's hard to tell. The planetary gears should be quite obvious so if you don't see them I'm thinking no. As for the noise i've no idea. I would take it to an ebike mechanic, someone who works on hub motors.

Hmm this looks like a direct drive motor, have you checked the bearings?
