Here's the video:

I don't know if it means anything but
  • it happened a few minutes after I folded and unfolded it in the wrong order (not entirely used to the folding order yet), so I might have pulled the cables a bit too much
  • I was riding in the rain; Since I bought it a couple of weeks ago, I haven't cleaned and oiled the chain yet; On another (standard) bike, the cogs had a harder time shifting when the chain was wet

I googled for this, but found nothing of help.

Does someone know what I could try?

Thank you.

Edit: I don't know if that's what it is, but while rescrewing the screw for the internal gear hub that came undone for the third time in a couple of weeks...



... I saw a small stone fall which might have been stuck in the jockey wheel:



Hopefully, it won't happen while I'm riding in the middle of nowhere.
