Over 1500 miles and the only problem I've had with the stock wheel/motor unit I bought from ebikes.ca is two broken spokes which I replaced in place, without removing the wheel.
How is the wheel holding up now? Any idea on how much spoke tension you're running?

That's what I'm considering for the next step. What rim & spokes did you use?
Thanks,
