In their reviews www.emtb-news.de includes a test with max assist until the battery is completely drained. They didn't have the Sam2 but there is the Bold2 with the same battery. To compare with others with 500Wh battery.

What is your budget? Maybe there are alternatives with bigger batteries. You're looking for a hardtail? As for the the distance it could be anything between 25 to 70 km depending on the terrain, the assist mode and your participation.

If there are many different batteries almost all use the same cells inside. So I can see a market for refurbished batteries with new cells.

If you go until everything is completely worn it will be much more than this. If you really want to go to the max, you should rotate 2 or 3 chains every couple hundreds of km.

It's not the smallest but the second one.

But it strange if it happens only on load. I would check again this sprocket for any damage.

You should create a small gif around 2'44"... :p

If the chain is very worn, the cassette can be too. You will hear it immediately...

It's the first version, with a Reverb post but I added the Bluto later. Apart from this and the racks it's the same bike. I have JJ 4.8 year round on it but now it's not my main bike.

Welcome! I have the "civil" version of your bike, the Lebowske. I'm jealous of your snow... I never had the "chance" to ride below -15°C but I don't usually go out for more than 2 hours so the battery is ok even in the cold.

Of course, with a hub motor it's already built-in. And it's nice to regulate the speed downhill, but far from a "real" braking which need to deal with much more energy.

It's a good conclusion, if it's hard under the mud. For some fun try 4+ tires! :p

I don't see regenerative brakes coming as It must be added to the current components and not a replacement. There is definitely a small market of new e-bikes commuters but as stated the weather is a big issue.

With a Shimano motor I would definitely upgrade to a Di2. It will integrate perfectly. From a cost point of view, without front derailleur the expense is not that pertinent... But again with a Shimano motor I would do it.

So maybe you just need to buy also the switch? Does Specialized sell it separately?

On other bikes, the new motor is compatible so it may be possible with a "generic" display?

I use FattyStripper and milKit valves. Hard to find a more convenient solution.

No. For the shifter, give it more than 30 minutes to become familiar with it.
