I wounder where the difference is. Maybe because I'm a heavier rider on heavier bikes, maybe because I use lower end chains and components, maybe some of the roads I ride are in worse condition, maybe because I'm careless about cross chaining, maybe all of them?
I am about 185 plus gear, I do tend to buy expensive stuff (if there is overall value), from my memory of your bikes, my bikes are lighter (I don't have enough miles on the ebike to know about its chains, yet), roads are likely the same, I try to avoid the cross chaining.
