Noticed a knocking sound on my back wheel thinking it was the axel may be bent but unsure. Is it worth fixing or just order a new hub ? I’ve got an eskute m100( I know) bought just to commute to and from work. Any advice would be appreciated thanks

I very much doubt that it's a bent axle unless you've done something really daft.

Can you give us a better description of the knocking noise? Is it continuous or does it come and go? Is it a deep knocking or a tapping noise or what?

When did it start?
Have you taken off the back wheel, and did it start after that?
What happened to cause it to start or did you just get it out one morning and it was doing it?
How old is the bike and how many miles has it done?

Without giving us all this information, we've got no chance of helping you.
