Problem with rear hub Leitner Berlin Cruiser
Hello. The rear hub drive on my Leitner Berlin Cruiser is grinding - the motor seems to be turning OK but its not turning the wheel. It sounds like something has come loose inside. It happened on a hard uphill. Any thoughts? Thanks

Looks like it has a geared rear hub motor (read ebikesca), so possibly there's a broken gear. Only way that I know to discern is open the hub. Ask your dealer; if parts are available, the repair could be fairly straightforward.

In order to reduce noise, many geared hubs have thermoplastic gears which can fail if they get too hot or are exposed to high stress. Normally easily replaceable with the most challenging aspect getting to them. Maybe look up on YouTube.

The type of lube is important too, so check on that too.
