Assuming regular maintenance, how many miles can I expect to get out of this bike? Closer to 1,000? 10,000? 100,000?

I found the build quality of the components (mainly wheels) to be rubbish. but frame seems solid

I'm not personally sure on the milage, but make sure to check the brakes every 5,000 miles after a good 10,000 miles check, and as long as the brakes are good they wont warp or grind the rotors. So the rotors should stay good

I have a used OEM exhaust off my 2010 Versys with 2000 miles on it. The price is $100 plus freight.

FWIW, only had it for a few thousand miles, but I use my wing for a work commuter; part of the trip being on some seriously rough roads...so the miles rack up pretty hard and fast- I'm happy with it (and the higher amperage output). Would recommend it without a doubt. The bike also runs noticeably stronger since installed.

It depends. The distance around the Central Park loop is about 6 miles. The Super Turbo 1000 range is 10-18 miles depending on rider's weigh, terrain and speed.

I'm 6'1", 165lbs, I commute 1-2 miles every day on mine to my office with no issues. I will tell you that it requires a fair bit of maintenance; oiling, screw tightening, cleaning, etc. More expensive scooters probably will last longer.

Sounds like a defective unit. Mine is solid. I've commuted over 1000 miles in the last year with it hasn't had any issues.

We have acquired 2 each 26" Schwinn Meridian bikes and outfitted them with electric drive mechanisms. They are an excellent bike and we get just over 30 Miles on the one unit - no pedaling; and we get even greater distances on the second generation build. For this range we use a seat with a back support - if ranges are considerable less - like our second bike gets between 50 and 60 miles per charge but it is only used in small spurts like 10 to 12 miles. That one we have not yet put on the back supported seat. They also pedal great if you desire - but @ 16 to 19 MPH I cannot turnthe pedals that fast - so I just cruise and enjoy.

I bought this bike for my grandchildren and there are about 40 hours on it and it's been very dependable. Very minimal maintenance and it usually starts on the 1st or 2nd try. So far it runs great...

have never had to use the warranty. have had a single and the duallie, 6 years for the single, going on 5 on the duallie. not exactly the answer you wanted, but a ringing endorsement from me for the durability of these. fyi, the duallie has travelled roughly 6400 miles. have had to change tire tubes roughly 4 times. the handlebar foam has worn off. but this is typical wear and tear.

It lasted at least 25 night rides with none of them longer than 3 miles... hope that helped

I can't say, but I have gotten maybe 1 or 2 flats with them in 4 years. My daily commute is 8 miles, each way, from North to South Manhattan. I run them on a Kona Kahuna mountain bike.

The farthest I've gone in them is 40 miles. A Century ride, personally I'd go with a more proven name. I like Pearl Izumi myself. I mean their not bad but a Century ride, not happening. You cant beat the price though.Good for 40 or 50 mile stuff. Any longer my first choice is P.I.

I'm not certain. It is an older gentleman that rides his bike about 10 miles everyday that uses it. I believe he doesn't get above 15 or maybe 20 miles perhour. I believe that someone could use it to get as high as 40 - 60 mph though. The numbers are there.

A buddy and I both bought these and didn't get very many miles. I think I got about 1000 before the rear was toast. The front I had the side wall cut but that was probably from something on the road not s flaw with the tire.

I've done an 11-mile commute so 22 miles going to and fro. This bike is a 6-speed which means if you live in a very hilly community and you aren't in the best shape, you'll have to put in a lot of effort. I must say it is a smooth ride but when it comes to hills, it is a bit of a challenge.

The bike is great, but from my experience the wheels need an upgrade. I'm currently considering what to replace them with. I weigh around 230. I've had to replace 3 spokes in the rear wheel, and I'm having to constantly true that wheel. I ride the bike to work and, given that it's a cyclo-cross bike I ride a short off-rode section. Perhaps on smoother roads the stock wheels will behave better. If you are not handy as a bike mechanic you may need to visit the shop frequently, unless you upgrade the wheels. I still think it's pretty good value for the money.
