Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

Based from what I've read on one of our United States based e-mtb forums (and the troubles alot of those folks have had with their motors failing early and often), I'm impressed by any high mileage attained by Shimano-motored ebike owners! So whatever you folks are doing, keep it up. Not alot of Yamaha reports coming in, but I figure those folks are out there pounding down the miles!:)

I think for the sake of accuracy in this chart, the individual poster has to distinguish between actual total distance traveled in either Miles or Kilometers and from there, the OP has to determine which parameter he is going to use in his charts (KM or Miles). There is a big, big difference in the distance traveled in one US based mile versus the rest of the world kilometer.

I know this is a Euro-based site, but I'm sure if you Metric folks call your distances traveled as miles, but it does seem confusing to this Yank! LOL :unsure:

I've been trying to be consistent and using only miles in the tables. Where people have stated km, I've converted to miles. There are a few oddities where there are photos showing km, but the system has been modified so its actually in miles!

In the UK, we still tend to talk about distance in miles, even though we're generally metric. We also order milk, and more importantly beer, by the pint rather than litre. A strange bunch we are.

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!

Congrats! Mine isn't far behind at 9.918 km atm. It's on its second motor (although I'm not sure the replacement was really necessary – a precautionary measure while still under warranty).

Good going that though I wish I had the secret formula. My Levos second motor was working great 2000 miles and I had wear in carbon frame. Sent whole bike back for new frame . They found an error on plugging in motor so replaced it as well. Just on 2000 miles on number four so how long have I got ???. Total 9000 miles now same battery amazingly i think. Levo Expert 2019 . Great fun though.

I will never win this metric. My trails are too steep, too slow, too muddy, winter is too wet and i will destroy or replace the bike/motor before i get to 10k

Currently 2850km 10 months ride time.

Yes, trail riding takes ages to accumulate distance. I ride my SL to work as well as trail riding, so I get around 150 to 200km a week commuting and just 50km average trail riding on the weekends.

I will never do well in this department. Extreme mud and water in North West England. Nearly every ride is a constant barrage of water and mud, and very unpleasant without full mudguards front and rear, biggest ones you can get are needed. A really, really bad last 19 months in particular for rain. The were a lot of dry months in 2022 and that was the only year I never got an electronic related error. It just goes to show doesn't it ?

The never ending rain in 2023 into 2024 killed two motors, a speed sensor cable and a battery.

I always thought English water was dryer than Welsh or Scottish but there you go ,your on 5 im only on 4 so I'm wrong again. Has been bad in all UK this winter I reckon.

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
