Richardo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hey all, First my MTen3 would 'pop' a bit when I rode with one pedal, and make a minor scraping noise. Thanks to the forum opened it up, and found the axle nut was loose, so I tightened it and now there is no play. I also silicone-glued the halves of the shell together to make a seal so water couldn't spray up between them. Now when I ride it I don't feel the 'pop' of the axle/pedal hanger thing anymore, but it makes an even louder scraping noise. Any idea what that is? I'm 200lbs/90kg- am I just too heavy for the wheel? Any common reassembly errors I might have made to cause it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mten3 will always make this noise on one of the sides when doing single legged practice. This is due to a too tight tolerance between the stator and rotor bell. The BL motor is assymetrical. ---[--- Same here and I am at 175lbs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried riding one legged and heard that noise and immediately stopped (I'm 210 lbs). I don't want to break the thing. @Alien Rides has a video where he puts power pads on the mten3 and he jumped once and it broke 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
