That looks very good !!!
The Cube orange spots start to make sense now.
Also the Kashima goes very well with your grey.
Was the 140S 29" fork that bad, or was there just some room for improvement ?
That new black paint part on top looks like someone repaired the cracked top tube, and masked it like we did 30 years ago on our rotten cars.
I hope the don't f*** up the sand 160S(L)
One or two of these batteries:

and an inverter similar to this...
Back to the Front light.
I found a power source. The charge cable has 36V when the bike is powered on, zero when powered off.
A 22awg cable with a female 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC connector will be routed to the steering bar.
This is the smallest 12V-80V dumb lamp I could find with a decent (and angle...

Indeed, this saddle is a lot more comfortable than the others.
I don't really like the "roll" it allows.
That's surely part of...
After the 10% battery "reserve" issues we discovered, I want to run a light directly from the battery.
The Supernova m99 pro runs on 24v-60v

I read about a lot of "smart automatic" things.
Is it stupid enough to just switch on/off when I press the button ?
thirty years old, so must be a 7 or 8 speed cassette.
Wear on our 12sp chains is significantly higher than on a 8sp chain.
If you see both chains next to each other you know why.
My mate drives a Focus Jam with vertical rear shock, I drive a '22 Cube 160 SL.
The main difference I feel is that his size-L feels bigger than my size-L, but haven't measured it.
You bought the wrong model.
Try to send it back and get one for the "smart" model,
or buy the "smart" acc cable and look for someone who can solder 2 wires together.
Installing is plug&place, any technician is capable of doing that.
Bosch service has to activate the acc port.
As my cassette lasts twice as long as my chain, I alter 2 chains now.
Test: Once the cassette starts rejecting a new chain, skipping, it's worn.
That happens when you did ride and use it with a +0.75 chain.
You can still ride a used cassette and a used chain, till they die together.
I sent Bosch a message about my wish to make ANT+ data available from Bosch, and send to Garmin.
The student they hired 2 days before answered something about connecting a heartbeat sensor to Bosch.
The 11t <> 13t shifting needed a little finetuning, it wasn't reacting every time to the shifter.
Propably due to the bigger derailleur distance and the unsuited derailleur angle, adjusting is more sensitive.
The front chainring ( >2000 km ) makes a rattling noise under load with the new chain...
The "Ergon SM E-Mountain Core Prime" doesn't win the beauty price against the standard edition, but it looks and feels a lot more forgiving.
With the saddlebag mounted, the difference is a lot less notable.
To be tested.
