Ebike conversion fail

 I got a rear hub  on aliexpress to convert my old MTN bike to an e-bike for commuting, 


If anyone has a 500W Bafang motor that makes a horrible grinding sound, I have a diagnosis. Mine came with extra metal bits in the gearset from the factory. totally destroyed the plastic planetary gears before I even got a chance to ride it.
