both would work but not recommended as both worked on my front chain ring and seems others are doing the same thing its just a chain at the end of the day.

Well that explains it nicely, thanks.

Shame there seems to be a big jump up in price as soon as the number 11 is mentioned when choosing a chain.

Got a KMC E11 ebike chain on order for £33 from High on Bikes as I got fed up with searching for a cheaper one.

id not bother with ebike chains imo you are just paying extra for the same thing but with ebike on the packet.

i have broken one power link and broke 1 chain in 5 years so not bad at all ;)

I've broken two chains in the last year, but that could be from poor maintenance as much as weak chains. I thought I would try an ebike specific chain to see if they are any different, but Im aware it could just be a marketing scam

Decent price, and I live close enough to collect, but for others with their £4 delivery charge they work out a bit cheaper on Amazon. I've snapped a couple of those in the last year, which is why I've decided to try a different brand this time around.
True, though I can always find a few other bargains to make the postage worth it

And that's how they gets ya!
