Loose nuts

A common cause of front wheel noise is a loose nut. The nut is responsible for securely attaching the front wheel to the upside-down fork. If it's not tightened properly, it can cause rattling noises. The spacer in your front wheel rim between the two ball bearings has a slight play, creating noise. Ensure the nuts are tight and secure to resolve this issue.

Dirty brake pads

Dirty or worn brake pads can also cause noise, especially when braking. If you hear a squealing or grinding noise, this could indicate dirty brake pads . Check the brakes and clean or replace the pads if necessary.

Problems with the warehouse

Another cause of front wheel noise can be bearing issues. If the ball bearing is worn or damaged, this can cause cracking noises. In this case, it's advisable to check the ball bearing and replace it if necessary to ensure a smooth ride.

It's important not to ignore front wheel noises, as they can indicate potential problems that could affect the safety and performance of your WANDLER electric scooter. Identifying and correcting the cause can help ensure your e-scooter runs smoothly and quietly.
