Ill try and take a little vid if it helps - trying to work out what this noise is and where its coming from. Its whenever im pedalling, with or without the motor, sounds like a tic tic tic noise like something is catching as it turns. only had the bike a few weeks, done just over 200 miles. Any ideas of what i can check? I've given it all a good clean and its nothing stuck in there so thats not the issue.

Has it just started?
It's not your bootlaces is it?
Does it happen when you are off the bike, with pedals turning (try both directions).
And so on....

Happens on and off the bike, no noise if i turn the pedal backward that all seems to be running smooth, just noticed it today.

hang the bike up, and look at the derailler while rotating pedals slowly. Typically:
- upper pulley keeping hold of the chain? (seems to happen with Sram, indicative of bent Pat/cog cage)
- chain being caught by the previous/next cog of the cassette? (tune the adjustment on the shifter to find out, you'll hear the difference immediately)
