0ver tha last two years I have 4000miles on one (current Emtb) 3000+ on another one I no longer have and 700 on another I also no longer have.

None of those numbers relate to reliability in the slightest

If NASA managed to land on the moon in a "lander" made from mechano with less suspension technology than a RS Recon fork in it's legs

I’m all for social distancing, but going above the Earths atmosphere on a bike is a bit extreme

Both my bikes have around 800kms . The cube was de restricted at around 600 w dodgy magnet move w tape . So probably more like 1000kms. And my levo is around 800 . Both bikes great except levo has an motor error code come up occasionally. I just turn it off and all is well again ..

I have almost a year on my 2019 Levo. 2,630 miles and 435,429 feet of off road climbing. I had the motor replaced at 1698 miles. Other than that the bike was and still is completely reliable.

1500km on a Bosch Gen 4 equiped bike which got delivered in mid-January this year. No issues other than not understanding that the battery charger disconnection order was important.
Have been off the bike for more than one month now due to lockdown. :mad:
