I am having the occasional problem on my Carrera Crossfire-e. Sometimes there is an continuous grinding sound coming from the crank set, chain, cassette when I am out cycling. The sound usually happens when I change gear. What could this be? Please advise.

Chain rubbing would be my guess.

Are you sure it's not coming from the motor? Just to makes sure, check that the connector near the motor is fully together.

I had this noise earlier today. It was intermittent and wasn't there yesterday.
I dropped into a Halfords to see if it was a known fault. Apparently not but a thorough spray of lubricant seemed to do the trick. 20 miles on and I haven't heard it again.
