Grease??

Perhaps you're right there. How do I do that? What grease should I use?

Depends what you have there, mid-drive or hub.

Something like AeroShell grease possibly.

Bit more noisy than in your first videos that`s all.

Do I just take it apart and grease any cogs therein?

Ok Hub,

prob some more knowledgeable soul like d8 could shed some more light on the innards of that one.

You seem to always come across electric vehicles in the park. That one is so cute. I wonder if that can handle off road with high jumping heavy dirt tracks.

MS.

We're all bone idle cheaters around here.

It's a 250w Oxydrive kit motor, if that info helps. Is it a big job and a big risk if I give it a go myself?

I'll wait for now, for more experienced advice and guidance..

Standard Class 3 covered mobility scooter - possibly a Shoprider.

Surely that's a Mr Magoomobile?

I had a look at those lately when in desperation to get something covered. "If I could accept a lowly 8mph top speed and a few laughs, how much would one of those be" I asked myself

£5,500. Err, no. I'll just keep getting wet. You don't even get ICE in it

I'm not so sure it's the hub. My oxydrive controller makes a terrible racket similar to that at very low speed in mode 2 or 3 but is ok at higher speed.

If you do suspect the hub remove the six M5/6's and it should quite easily pull a apart, clean out any old black treacle and re-grease mobil or shell Areogrease are good.

Whilst at it check the side plate bearing for wear & play.

After another good ride and a good listen, I'm inclined to suspect the same Nealh. It tends to only make a racket going up steep hills. Especially when I press the throttle.

I reckon that would be a recipe for disaster SW. Unless you take the doors off and do the splits while driving it at least.

By the way I looked up a milk float in my desperation too, damn. Still need a license. What's a guy gotta do to get a roof on something without holding a license XD

Big gap in the market there. All you

entrepreneurs reading, get on it

i got 30 years left to make mine

Motors don't normally need greasing so soon. That's an ordinary Bafang motor. I'm not sure which model it is.

Most of the noise is caused by the controller. I'd be inclined to change it to a sine wave one, like the S06S and S-LCD3 from BMSBattery.

Grease won't hurt. it might be worth checking that water hasn't got in. IIRC, you take out the 6 screws in the side-plate, then you can remove it along with the entire motor core. The gears are on the other side, so easy to grease.
