Why is my TotGuard bike making weird noises?

Weird noises coming from a TotGuard bike can often indicate underlying issues, and determining the source is vital for performance. Noise can stem from various components, such as the brakes, chain, or motor, and diagnosing it early can avoid more significant problems later on.

If you hear squeaking, it might be the brakes needing adjustment or cleaning. A grinding noise could indicate that the chain needs lubrication or that there’s dirt stuck in the derailleur. If the sound is more mechanical, it could be an issue with the motor.

For example, if you recently rode through water or mud, that could be the cause of the grime affecting the chain or brakes. Regular cleaning can prevent many of these issues. Ensure that you perform routine maintenance and check for loose screws or components.

PRO TIP: Inspect and lubricate the chain every few rides to prevent noise and wear.

CONSIDERATION: If noises persist despite your troubleshooting efforts, it may be time to take the bike to a professional for a thorough inspection.
