Changing rear brake on Rise 25.

The guided routing on the new Rise is a big improvement on the original but having done two bikes IME you do still need to drop the motor. It just seems to press enough on the brake hose that you can't feed it. Once it's out I could pretty easily push a hose in at the rear stay and it emerged at the head tube.

To feed the hose through I've created a rounded 'dead end' from an old red reverb double ended barb - trimmed off one of the barbs and filed the end so it's got no sharp edges. (previously I'd used one of those to join an clean piece of hose through one way as I removed the old brake, then attached the new one and fed back - but really no need to do that if the guiding is good enough, but you do still want something to close the hose and stop fluid leaking)

I’ve used this little barbed tool for feeding new brake lines through the frame. Had to drop the motor and loosen some bulkheads but a push/pull technique seemed to work.

Only once I had a pinched brake line in the motor compartment, but that was an easy fix and find.

Not pinched to be an issue, but pushing on the (soft) guide tube so too much friction to feed though.
