Yes,I agree. There seems to be a bit of play between the bolts and flanges. The grease on bolt method seems to work well. No relapses yet.

Lol, thanks! I never thought of copper paste probably because I don’t have any lol. I just used moly paste because I use it on my motorcycle driveshaft splines. I think that any metallic paste should work because it seems to stick well to the metal. It sure is a nice feeling when you fix your...

Sounds good. Happy cycling!

23000kms! Good for you! If you read my posts further along, I changed to lithium and molybdenum grease which has worked much better. I haven’t found the torque settings for the bolts so I just tighten them with my 12 volt Milwaukee impact gun. Working well so far.

Gotcha. Mine is like a series of loud ticks that gets louder the harder I pedal and it only happens on the push stroke for maybe 1/4 of a pedal rotation. It would be about 10 or so ticks which together sounds like a low frequency, but loud creak.

I would try greasing the motor mounting bolts. Mine has been very quiet since I did that. Read the above few posts from me about how to do it. If you have any questions, please ask.

If it persists or get worse I wouldn’t put grease on the bolts though, I’d take it in to them and tell them it’s creaking and see what they do.

My bike started creaking a bit at 400kms and by 600kms you could prob hear it from half a block away. And it was definitely coming from the left side. There is no creaking at all now; but for how long the “fix” will last, I have no idea. I can only hear the quiet whine/whir of the electric...

No idea. I phoned several Giant dealers on Vancouver island and Vancouver and not one had heard of the ebike creaking problem. I live a 6 hour plus round trip to the nearest dealer so it’s not really an option to take it there unless the motor explodes. I guess they could say it does void the...

This guy is taking the whole motor out. You just need to see how /which bolts are to be greased and screws under the battery. The moly grease is great because it sticks to metal really well.

This video shows how to take the three motor bolts out. Wouldn’t let me send my video.

I’ll try adding a video

The three main bolts are number 30 torx.

I took a bolt out one at a time. I sprayed lithium grease into the bolt hole while covering the other end with a finger so most of the grease stayed in the hole. I also have some thicker molybdenum paste used for motorcycle drive splines which is quite thick. I pasted that onto the entire bolt...

What is R&Ring? I used moly paste and lithium grease on the motor bolts. It had 62Kms since and not a peep so far. I’ll put another 32kms tomorrow or next day and let you know how it’s doing. It has to be the motor bolts because that’s the only part I’m greasing along with the motor mounts...

I may have discovered a solution to the creaking sound. Even though the motor mount bolts are tight the motor still moves a bit while pedaling so I decided to take them out and spray silicone in the bolt holes and put moly grease on all metal parts of the bolts. This allows the bolts to move a...

My 2018 explorer has just started creaking with 600kms/400 miles on it. It only creaks on the left hand side. Sounds horrible and people can hear me approaching from quite a distance. Have you had success with the third motor? Also, have you heard anymore about if the problem is a bad batch of...
