My experience with Shimano is good, two ebikes with 36,000 km and 21,500 km and no problem.
I will buy a Strive ON with a Bosch motor and I will learn something new for myself.
I was able to see all 3 new Canyon models on Lake Garda, Neuron and Strive with Bosch, Torque with Shimano. All three look great, here's the Strive
On 9.05 the new one will be presented
I have the XT786 Shadow+ SGS 10-speed gearbox in my Neuron ON, which has 21,000 km, with XT 771 11-36 cassette and lasts 3,500 km and 700 kilometers each XT HG95 chain.
Analysis at 20,000 kms. in a Neuron ON
Hello, after 36 months and 20,000 kms. , this is my analysis of the Neuron ON 5.0 that I released on 02/2020:
1)Transmission; In the Neuron ON 5.0 they should put cassette and XT string as standard.
At 1700 km the Shimano HG500 11-36 10v does not work...
I am very lucky since I usually ride an ebike almost every day of the year, here in Las Vegas del Guadiana there are many sunny days and little rain, my routes are about 40 km along agricultural tracks and trails.
Clean the engine area, (only with a damp microfiber cloth).
I charge the battery...
