This is an Ultegra 11s chain after 1000km of wear from a 1500W mid-drive. Used to ride a Tangent back in 2016. T’was shredding till it went *clunk*.

    I think it really depends on the chain too. I have a no-name chain from China that came on a 1,300w ebike, and it’s still good 3,701 km later. Though this is a single speed, so perhaps there’s less wear and tear because of that.

    One shop also put a 12 speed chain on an 11 speed bike, and I managed to snap it clean off with just my legs on my standard mountain bike. Stuff like that can also be a factor.
