7900 on YT Decoy. Original motor. Just turned 3 years old. 3 chains and 3 cassettes/chain rings. Wax is your friend! As is not cleaning the bike after every ride.

Just hit 5000miles today on the bike, which seems high, but got me thinking there must be a few who have done mega miles by now. Taking the bike to really mean 'frame' as I'm already on the second motor!

I've done about 6,000 miles on my 2018 Cube reaction hybrid race.

The motor was replaced at about 5500 miles as the bearings were worn out.

I've replaced the chain, cassette and front sprocket a few times and stacks of brake pads.

Overall I'm very happy with the bike. It's getting on a bit but I've had massive enjoyment with it....

8500kms on Shimano e8000 on 2018 Merida e120 800....original motor, replaced plenty of consumables and lots of time on the workstand doing the preventative maintenance. All have a 2015 Gedipa Hardtail with the Bosch Performance gen 2 with 4500kms ... doesn't get ridden much.

Would have been more interesting with a column for number of motors?

Yes, was planning on either adding another table for motor distance or could add another column for number of motors. Been rather nice out today though so have spent the time on the bike rather than updating tables!
 
Model year 2016 Haibike Full FatSix, Yamaha PW drive, bought in February of 2017, placed in service in April, 2017..........18,953 miles.

Original, un-opened Yamaha motor, original everything but tires, tubes, shift cable, break pads. Replaced front big chain ring 2 times, rear derailleur and rear cassette, once.

I've been effectively off the bike since Fall 2022, dealing with Mom health issues, so I'm pretty sure I'd be well over 20k miles at this point.

A shame that Haibike has left our US market. It's a great, well specced bike, the best Fat Ebike on the market.

There's a guy in a facebook group for the cube reaction hardtail owners that posted his purion showing over 20k miles the other day, wish he was here to add it to the leaderboard!

Muy impresionante. ¿Es eso con un motor E8000? ¿Y el otro E7000?
The two single-engine ebikes DU-E8000.The secret is to never wash the engine area (just a damp cloth and a little Muc-off) and luck.
I bought a backup DU-E8000 from Andrzej Wodejszo, for the day it breaks, but at the moment the DU-E8000 of the Neuron ON 2020 is almost like the first day

The bike meaning 'frame' is pointless.
Normal bikes have been ridden around the globe.
The bike is THE BIKE and that means the motor. ESPECIALLY the motor.
I'd go further and say it is spin. Some of these bikes might have had five motors.

Totally agree.
It ends up being like your grandfather's axe, it's had 10 handles and 4 heads but it's still your grandfather's axe. :LOL:
If we are talking about Ebikes and what everyone wants to know is how long the motor is going to last so the distance the original motor is what would be important here.
