davidbruce45 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hello, I'm new to this bog, just wanted to put something out there. I've been ridding for about 3 months and love it. I've got over 200 miles on my Segway mini pro. The last time I went out, I started hearing a popping noise in one of my wheels. Sounds like a bearing is going out or something like that. Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? If so what was your fix? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Check that the valve stem cap is tight. Sometimes they work loose and will tap on the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbruce45 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks for the advice. I checked and it's OK. There is very little tolerance between the valve stem and fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little tolerance between the valve stem and fender. Yes, sometimes they tap up inside. You might remove valve caps just to verify it's not those where you cannot see them. If not, I believe I heard of ONE case of a bearing going bad, but I would not suspect that. There's another fix where you put a piece of rubber or something between the fender and main body to prevent noise, but I don't think that's a popping noise. Also check tires for a small rock stuck in tread. Just thinking out loud, and ruling out things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a bearing is going out or something like that. Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? If so what was your fix? Thanks. There are couple of things to check, like tyre pressure, decorative blades (red and grey thingies on the wheelcap), I've seen some loose ends of doublesided tape/strip (from fender mouts) catching on valve stem on one of my Mini Pros.

This appears to be the play in the way the wheel is held on, but I would not think that's broken or bad. The other sound mentioned above is when you are riding and it taps or pops when the wheel is spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might be battery cells. I’ll check the tire valves. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
