Or put two of these on the two-chain wax plan, from £24 a month: one on the bike, one ready, I do the waxing.
Hot-waxed for £20 more: I strip the factory grease off and hot-wax the chain in Squirt Performance Hot Wax, so it goes on clean and ready to ride. Waxed chains go out in 2–3 working days; plain ones ship as normal. Not sure it fits? Ask me.

Details
Linkglide is Shimano's tougher drivetrain for e-bikes. This chain is thicker and lasts far longer than a standard HG chain, and shifts smoothly under power. Only fits Linkglide cassettes and derailleurs. 138 links, about 257 g.
Why hot wax?
Drip lube is wet, so it picks up grit and grinds it into the chain. Hot wax dries solid and polishes smooth, so dirt can't get in. The chain runs quieter, saves a few watts, and lasts several times longer, and so do your cassette and chainrings.
Already have a chain? Send it in for waxing (£29, return postage included), or run two chains on the two-chain wax plan.
