 Will it hurt to ride without Rear Axle Caps?
Yesterday I parked next to my F3, I noticed a bright, shiny nut on the rear sprocket. I have been down around there before and didn't notice it. Is there a cap that may have fallen off, and will it hurt anything to ride without it? Thanks in advance!

Maybe a picture would help the members answer your question?

There is a black plastic cap that goes over the axle one both sides. No it won't matter if they are missing. I believe they are mainly just for looks.

Hmmmm --- My 2019 F3S never came with axle caps. Could it be a crate/freight thing that is removable at set up?

They actually serve 2 purposes, looks and it keeps dirt out of the center of the axle making it easier to install the trailer hitch.

Stopped at the dealership today. They are pretty much ornamental. Was able to order just one for less than $12! Finally, something that doesn't cost $150 
PS... it's a LH Axle End Cap

I popped a little silicone on mine so they wont be as likely to fall off.

The caps fit on very loosely, I’m surprised that I haven’t lost them yet.
