Got my new Radrover the other day and after about 50 miles noticed a clicking noise that sounded like it was coming from the controller area, but also sounded like towards the front. It would happen when I was pedaling or not. I would happen with throttle only or not. It would happen with suspension locked or not. It would happen with the battery off or not. The clicking noise did not sound like spokes though.. but I tightened them anyway, first a 1/4 then another 1/4 but the noise was still there. The noise would happen over cracks and bumps in road but sometimes on very smooth road.
Then I decided to stand up on the bike and use the throttle, when this was done the noise would stop. When I would sit down the noise would start. I then determined that I had adjusted the seat and that little locking lever was to close to the post when locked so when I would hit a bump or adjust my weight the post would flex enough to strike the lever. When I moved the lever away from the post the noise was gone. Moral of story is check everything.
Nice find! As my brother the mechanic often says; "Check the simple things first!"
