The bicycle doesn't have good components for motors. And the cycling tech and material are useless.
Speaking from personal experience, I have a Giant XTC E+ Pro which has a Yamaha motor in it.
I have the shop equipped with the best transmission gears possible.
Then I have m980 cassette and KMC e10s chain worn out under 24 hours total bike usage just a little beyond 500 miles.
Then the DT wheel swiss EX 1501 rear hub is almost done.
Then new M771 and KMC E10EPT chain installed and they are worn out under 20 hours total at about 300 miles.
All this is under the speed that my bike is still restricted at 43km/h!!! I like cycling at higher speed and use the 11T though, not just due to the fact that's the only way to be faster without pedaling like a monkey, but also a bicycle is supposed to be a very durable transportation tool, not a toy!!
This is a joke. A big fat joke in the so-called bicycle industry.
It is so surreal and so true at the same time that I can feel the cycling community is just that pathetically small and no real big muscle company like car manufactures care to touch it.
