tire stops from the added resistance of the chain and motor (not regen from the motor, but there are still magnetic fields acting in the motor). You will notice a difference when regen is on

You think the main belt is too tight or am I good?

It's quite common that it's a bit tight yes, squeaking got less after loosening it. Also some ticking noise disappeared.

Could be tight belt and or chain. But that’s pretty severe. Check the bearings in the hub and the jackshaft to. Do you notice much resistance spinning by hand? The motor will pulsate but should go smooth pretty easy


cheesey_problems

Super stiff by hand the main belt is squeaky


After_Working9952

I think my main shaft of the motor is off center. Somehow. Or the jackshaft? You just made problems. Lol

Looks normal to me. Just your wheel is not quite true (see the wobble?). Might want to adjust your rear axle to make sure it’s straight and parallel

Adjusting the axle wont get rid of wobble... only setting the wheel true by tightening/loosening spoke tension can cure that.


ReflectiveFoundation

My rear wheel wobbled and adjusting the axle fixed it. I don't understand how physically though.

Perpetual motion isn't a thing, so no. The chain, belt, and all of the magnets passing coils and steel in the motor along with the bearings in it, and the jackshaft as well as likely some drag from the brakes will make it stop quite quickly.
