An older build circa 2017. 1500W of rage in that can next to the bottom bracket. SLX/XT drivetrain. DT rear hub to handle the torque. XT v-brakes. Pedal assist with torque sensing BB.
Let’s keep the momentum going…

Yup. Snapped an Ultegra chain at a thousand km. Later switched to KMC for ebikes which lasted a few thousand until worn without catastrophic failure. I ride the same model chains till present day even though I no longer use a mid drive. They’re just so durable…
Oh that’s good to hear. Did you need to replace the gears with the chain? Or still same gears from the start?
I think I used it for about two years for commuting around. The smallest gears - 12t, 11t got visibly worn. Especially the 11t. The rest were fine and got used until recently on another bike, after replacing the 11t cog. So the cassette did quite well. It was an Ultegra cassette, so probably not the strongest. These days LinkGlide cassettes (CUES) should be much stronger.
