Curious how much life this bike has left in it (specifically the motor and battery). Rider is 68 yrs old. Has 1350 miles. Only ridden on dry trails. 5% ECO, 50% Tour, 45% ETMB, 0% Turbo. Ride in rough terrain, but only weigh 140 lbs. Bike has only been stored overnight with 100% charge probably 20 nights. Keep batt inside house on cold nights. No crashes (yet!). Sure I'd like a new Rail+ or Levo 4, but this one is just fine for me.
Y 'all's thoughts please?!?!

My extensively modified January 2022 alloy Rail (L) has over 5,000 miles on it. Motor was professionally serviced in 2024 and 2026. Same with wife's January 2022 alloy Rail (M) which has over 2,000 miles on it. They're set up exactly the way we want them. Can seen no reason to change the bikes.

Thanks! That is comforting. I'll hang on to it for sure.
Any idea what is done when "professionally servicing the motor".
 
2020 Rail 7 covid bike. 6000Kms battery left on charge most of the time. Been dropped, crashed, thrown off drops, frame & forks rubbed raw from bike rack, broken spoke on FW sposed to be replaced a year ago, ooze coming from headset, strap around charge port lid, battery taped on to stop from jumping out in protest.

Just about run in...
