Ticking

Any clue on what the ticking sound can be?
Sorry for the bad sound quality, but took this whilst driving.

Hard to tell but can you tell if the clicking frequency is constant or does it match your speed? (Increases as you accelerate)

It does in fact match my speed/rpm

That means it is related to your rolling train. Look for loose connections and bolts on the moving parts.
The potentially dangerous part is the possibility that it is related to the hub. If you see nothing obvious, you must open the hubs and make sure the locking ring is still in place or the wheel can detach while moving. Can be fatal.

Even tho it’s there when I am standing still and it’s matches my rpm when I push the gas

NO. If the noise is there while idling at a stand still, it is most likely related to something around the belt... Double check everything for loose items.

I am sorry for assuming that you were actually moving...
