hi, all people...

I have an i2 series (white) with the product year on the middle of 2007.
I use this unit since August 2008.

Since 1500kms, i have an noisy gear box when i decelerate on an slope...i think it's not the elastomar to couple the gear box to the motor because i don't lose traction on high rising road.

My question:
I think dismantled the gearbox to check the oil.
I know to purge car engine oil and oil gear...but, in a segway gear box, it's Oil like the Gear box of car ? (75W80 liquid)
Or an "graphite" grease like in scooter engine ? (solidifies at low temperature to adhere to the bearings)

thank you for your advice...
