I've put about 800 miles on mine last year.
Not much pedaling while riding it, two batteries allow long range,
for short jaunts, I only put one battery on the ebike.
I'm thinking about swaping out the dual crown fork to a single crown, smaller turning radius.
Which is important in NYC metro where I ride.

Nice!
I have a 16 mile route here......all on the beach, so would take 50 of those to reach your 800 miles....totally do-able!
Don't know about the double vs. single crown fork but please post again here if you do it and how it works out.
As for the wheels.....yeah the spoke nipples on my first bike started corroding from the salt air here straight away. I ended up treating them to arrest the corrosion but a bit of a PITA and they don't look that great either. I was proactive on the second bike and painted them all with POR15 before I even assembled the bike.
So the cast wheels on this new one should be better in that regard!
Safe riding, "A" !!!
