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*.

The relevance here is that mid-drive uses the chain since the motor is near the pedals, hub drive powers the wheel directly. So in this context, they no longer need to worry about the durability of the chain versus powerful motors.
