All in place with all wires in nplace and excess length organised. By leaving the front brake line black it disappears and the white ones draw attention away.

No line touches anything in its travel.

All the lines along the frame are organised in a way that gives minimal bends. The gear shifte cable gets priority as it goes from right side at the back to left side front. Being a cable line any bends are to much. The brake line also swaps sides and the wiring harness weaves through.

First test ride was in the mud. So much black clay it clogged the wheels, caked around the motor and sprocket and the chain kept coming off.
After a good hose and then wash its all clean. If it can't take a good hosing then it's not very waterproof.
Iv learned a few things:
Top speed is 45kph. It does it easy enough and is limited by the small front sprocket.
The big back sprocket could be bigger as the motor won't take a smaller front sprocket
Up steep tracks it's still a bit fast for technical stuff.
The motor delivers its power a bit like a petrol motor just much weaker. It's max spin speed after all the internal reduction gearing is 160 rpm. There is no tako but let's say up to 40 rpm is wont give full power say 50% then after that it away. The reason for this I guess is at low revs the motor could burn out if your putting full throttle into it. You still have to use the gears to keep it spinning and not load up by drawing high watts at low revs.
Full load is deffently 1500 watts which is to fast for peddling in any gear if you are in that gears best rev range.
Also need bigger brakes, side stand and some tools and stuff
