Just finished putting mine together, it looks great! Does anyone know if it's supposed to sound like a lawnmower? It is quite noisy - I always though ebikes were relatively quiet. Thanks.

The XB-562 is chain-driven, so it's not going to be as quiet as a hub motor. But it shouldn't sound like a lawn mower! You should have a constant "whizzing" sound from the motor / chain while in operation. It's hard to say if what you're hearing is normal or not... but make sure the chain isn't rubbing somewhere and that nothings caught.
