Actually I see you can get the coloured versions of the ebike variant. Just wasn't clear that was the case on their website.
Not so worried about POE, but more pawls engaging simultaneously would be reassuring given the torque going through the rear hub
Anyone fitted a 'standard' Hope Pro 4 or 5 rear hub to an ebike? If so, how long has it been running? Any issues? I'm wondering whether I can go with the standard so I can get the colour choice I want.
You can compare the specs here:
2021 model
2022 model
One difference I could see is that the 2021 version has the 6100 shifters and rear derailleur, and the 2022 has the 7100. There's virtually no difference and in any case it looks like you've got the 7100 as you have SLX stencil on the...

You should drop into Giant in Guildford (I got my Reign E+ from there, even though I live 90 mins away). They're a really good bunch. You can chat emtb and transportation options - very knowledgeable team.
