Did another 20 miles today here in NJ, a bit windy and colder, but got out nonetheless.
Regarding 'noises'; there is definitely some sort of odd noise while pushing/pedaling any speed (Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo) and I'll give things a while to "break-in" (?), before pushing the envelope.
Although the new Bosch motor is much, much quieter than the previous generation, there is an odd noise when pedaling. I can liken it to the noise a creaky box springs make wile moving rapid on a mattress (engaged in a vigorous physical activity). That's the best way to describe the similarity of the noise I hear. If I stop pedaling, the noise stops.
ME....my opinion, it's something to do with the way the motor is mounted in the frame and the resonance of the movement of the gears and/or bearings.
Either this is a defacto standard 'way it is' or I have a problem. I'd like to know if anyone else with the same bike has heard any similar noises. ONLY reason I have concerns is that these types of noises progressively got worse on my previous Super Commuter 8 leading to not only a motor replacement but ultimately in replacement of the entire bike this July.
I'm hoping it a break-in noise. Time will tell.
