An older build circa 2017. 1500W of rage in that can next to the bottom bracket. SLX/XT drivetrain. DT rear hub to handle the torque. XT v-brakes. Pedal assist with torque sensing BB.

Let’s keep the momentum going…

Nice. That probably ate your chain and gears for breakfast, no?

Yup. Snapped an Ultegra chain at a thousand km. Later switched to KMC for ebikes which lasted a few thousand until worn without catastrophic failure. I ride the same model chains till present day even though I no longer use a mid drive. They're just so durable..
