The gear range on this 10-speed 11–36T cassette is completely insufficient for a heavy e-fatbike like this, so I’m upgrading to an 11-speed 11–51T.

Also, I was surprised to find out that the Shimano Deore RD-M5100 derailleur, while it does have a clutch, doesn’t have a cage lock.

That is insane. Like literally an 8 speed 11/36 with a triple compact chainring set attached to the inside, and a medium size one at that. Like chainings for cyclocross are traditionally 46t for the big ring. There is no way that thing wears evenly. They really should start selling subassemblies.
