It has been a very wet Spring following a very wet Winter. 2023 was wet almost throughout and the end of 2022 was wet as well so it feels like it has been bad all the time for a very long time
Nobody in UK will argue with your summary there im thinking. We're getting a week of decent weather here. Alas I was away last weekend so wary of suggesting anything other than a day trip , maybe Tarland.

This Bosch is from Francisco Calero de Puertollano, the ebike with the most km I know, it is a champion

I'm at 11356/18276 now same motor, time to get a major service soon. Just got an almost new battery for 400 Euros, the old one was down to 49%. I don't feel comfortable on the Portuguese roads...

I had my Bosch serviced by @Bearing Man last week at just about 4000 miles. There wasn't actually anything wrong with it per se but I've been off the bike with an injury, so it made sense to me to have it looked at. Now it's back in the bike, I can feel how much stiffer the cranks & by extension, the gears are to turn with all the new seals, bearings & grease. I reckon over time, the wear you incur in these motors is so gradual that you don't notice it at all. I can only guess how an 80k motor feels!

According to my data with Boost Francisco Calero Gallego 86600km with the same engine. The engine still sounds fine, impressive. And with SHIMANO Miguel Angel Tamaral is on his way to 40,000 km with his Whaka DUE8000

I want to comment with photos so that you can see the importance of doing preventive maintenance every 8000 or 9000 km at most, opening, cleaning and oiling will give the engine another thousands of kilometers without problems and not let it "melt". The first engine with ODO 23,430km was only used until the goose noise started to be loud, (it had broken gears). Thanks to Andrzej's know-how, he was able to save himself by changing gears. The second engine did ODO 9,000 km and Andrzej greased and only found a broken washer, (engine after preventive maintenance was practically new). Please, never use Kärcher and do preventive maintenance to save you a lot of money and pay attention to "goose" noises. Thank you for your work andrzejwodejszo
I have been on my 2019 CANYON Neuron ON for 44,000 km and with the preventive maintenance of the three DUE8000 I hope to reach 100,000 km

Mileage can be pretty meaningless for a motor. I have a bike that I really only use to session forest downhill trails.......meaning that probably for c half the mileage recorded the motor is doing nothing because gravity is doing all the work!!

That's a lot of kilometers!

My 2020 Levo SL is up to 13,500km and I plan to give the motor a full overhaul at 15,000km.

Hello. Some great mileages here. Just wanted to add my experience. My e7000 is on 4400 miles, covered in exactly two years so ridden year round rain or shine and has had one service to replace the grease, done by me at 3000 miles or so. The plastic gear and all bearings are original and still smooth. Out in all weathers including red warnings, snow, hail, rain etc and being in the UK my bike is almost permanently covered in mud.

Very happy with it.

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!

Today I reached 45,000 km with my CANYON Neuron ON from January 2020 and the best thing is that the two backup engines have preventive maintenance up to date and the one on the Neuron ON only has ODO 1400 km ;)
I hope to do at least as many km with this ebike with high addictive potential.
Thanks to Canyon's engineers and Fabien Barel for the development and creation of this fantastic 21 kg aluminum ebike with no planned obsolescence. 👏
