Chain Constantly spins, the faster you go the faster the chain spins vitus sommet deore 2020

Got my vitus in April, but recently When ever the bike is moving the chain continues to keep going Around and the faster you move downhill the faster the chain keeps going around. Can anyone suggest what this could be ? Thanks

Are you pedalling ?

Sounds like your free hub has seized

Yeah, your cassette should freewheel and chain no move when no pedalling. The shimano motor also has a freewheel in it so the chain wont move when you pedal back. Sounds like the resistance in the wheel freehub is higher than the motor freewheel, which it should not be.

If the rear wheel has been apart it may be an internal spacer has been lost or the hub mis-assembled. Try to move the freewheel on the bike, then remove the wheel and see if its better, might help you/us diagnose the issue.

However an email to CRC is the first thing you should do, hopefully they will need just the wheel and not the whole bike for a repair.
