Reported by NuVinci there is at least one N360 with 25,000 KM that they know of and it's still running.

Mine has about 1000 miles and works just fine.

Been riding a Catrike Expedition for over a year now. I'll never go back to 2 wheels, let alone a DF. Its a shame because I must have about $5K tied up in my road and MTN bike.
