Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

[Binhill1]

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!

Dios mío... Son casi 50.000 millas... ¿Qué tipo de ciclismo hace? ¿Hay parques para bicicletas? ¿Saltos, etc.?

4000 OK as well I think I hot 3000 out of one of mine . Currently at about 2300 on this one , borrowed time ? .

You might be pleasantly surprised. Mine didn't look too bad & it's done three UK winters. But I do go out of my way to renew the barrier grease on the outer beatings.

Bosch CX4

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

Amazing to see how that purion survived for so long!!! it was the firs part that I upgraded on my cube, because I was afraid it could be destroyed very easily on a crash.
