Help with noise

Hi, today while riding my bike I noticed that the engine noise was a bit louder than usual, and I felt vibrations in the pedals. In the video, the motor is completely off, and the wheel stops after 4-5 seconds of being spun by hand. Any help? Thanks

Back driving the motor will result in these sounds. I'm not hearing anything I would consider unusual to the motor itself. The crunchy noises sound like the normal bicycle parts.

How long have you been riding the bike? Did you ask how long it will likely last? How you done any maintenance?

No maintenance, 4 months of 50km weekly

no maintenance of the electric parts

See that orange stuff? That's rust.
How about a clean and lube, see where you are at.
