The gen4 motor already have two connectors for the lights, and the battery extension also exists with the special cable to connect two batteries to the motor... nothing new here.
Hi! I'm also from Switzerland, Wallis ;)
Pay attention to the battery capacity if you buy a new bike because with more Nm you will probably drain faster the battery!
With my Cube Stereo Hybrid Bosch gen4 and 625Wh battery I do easily 1800m ascent.
No, please don't mix the Ah capacity and the weight!
The weight of a battery is not proportional to the Ah, but is proportional to the Ah * V (= Wh) !!!
That's a good and correct analysis. 48V / 750Wh looks not possible with current 21700 or 18650 cell capacity.
On my opinion there will be no new motor for 2022, the gen4 is "only" 2 years old and still very competitive.
I think they will only come with a new 720Wh / 36V battery with the same...

I got yesterday the rear-wheel motor (also from CSC, but standard 36V 350W), the motor cover came with a freewheel thread.
Did you modify the motor cover to fit a cassette? Or directly get a...
With the light full-suspension and this one you totally deserve the DIY custom e-bike builder gold medal! Thanks for sharing ??
Any other custom builds to show us? Legal or illegal ... :LOL::giggle:
Awesome build!
I thought the pictures were "before custom build". I didn't pay attention to the motor before reading the comments below.
What brand/type is the motor?
