ust got 14,000 miles on my trek, allant 8+ in a little less than 3 years. my first bosch bike I got 14,000 miles in 2 years, then the motor rusted out.


so, let's see approx, five chains on the 3rd cassette (my first bike, I got the whole 14,000 out of one cassette) one chainring back wheel cracked after about 8000 miles (that’s typical for me) trek replaced it, but I had a wheelset built from dt-swiss hubs and rims with great spokes and narrower rims. I think two sets of tires the originals had about 8000 when I dumped them for the crappy ride some of my slicks had issues) 2 seats and several sets of grips. maybe 4 or 5 sets of brake pads two changes of rotors. around 48,000 in the last 5 years or so.

Way to go! That's great mileage. The Allant 8+ is a strong bike with a great motor.. I got close to buying one of those, but coming off a road bike I just like the 700c wheel size.

I ended up getting a gazelle ultimate T10+ with the Bosch performance speed motor. I couldn't be happier with the feel that it gives you when you're pedaling. Really nice system these Bosch Motors are.

Today I have about 500 miles on my new bike. I've had it for 2 months now. My trek road bike, Emonda sl7 with a full etap system.
I put 14k on that in the first two years. I just switched tires on that bike to a 33 mm. I'm completely spoiled now from the e-bikes cushey ride. I'm keeping logs on the gazelle as well and hoping I can tag on some good mileage..
 
ya my sore spot was the wheels. I chose it as it uses the batteries I already had for the extra battery. Plus there were not as many choices as there are now. but the 2" tires help especially with slick tires. but would have rater had 700c wheels.
