After advise in another tread, I ordered the SM E-Mountain standard. (66.99eur)
But this is a post a few pages ago about the Core Prime version:
Here somebody else, not happy with the SM E-M standard, but happy with the Core Prime version.
So I ordered the double priced SM E-Mountain Core Prime now (118.88eur), I hope it's better !
But for me, that must have been the worst saddle I ever had.

Well, it seems the guys in the other tread are right.
When 12v lights option enabled, the previous Gen4 versions cut off at 6% or 10% battery level. (some legal stvzo requirement)
The so called "smart" Gen4 (bes3) recalculates the scale, cuts off at 0%, but preserves power for the lights. (43.2Wh ?)
Off to the store, to disable this madness. I'll cut into the wiring to tap directly into the 36V.

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.

SM E-Mountain Core Prime Men Saddle
Long climbs? Stay seated and let the pronounced rear ramp amplify power and stability. Numbness? Forget it: a man’s problem zone is cradled in absolute comfort. Lower back problems? The ergonomic core follows the natural movements...
www.bike-discount.de
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 the comfort, but disables bike position correction when off the saddle.

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 adjusting) clamp:
It consumes 15W: 385mA at 41V (Fully charged 36V battery)
Just as a test, I connected it after a 8-80V ->12V buck converter, at 12V this lamp consumes 1.3A
I would have preferred 2 separate smaller lights of 8W, but I can't find them with the specs of this one.
www.aliexpress.com
A button on the handlebar close to the right grip will power it on/off
This solution will deplete 2% of the battery per hour I put it on.

I'm interested to see what wire taps you use for the 36v motor feeds...do you know what AWG the red and black lines are? And which Buck Converter did you go for? Where / how are you mounting it? Are you using an in-line fuse off the +ve?
I'm getting the Exposure flex-E MTB light soon, this will be how I power it.

No buck Converter. 36V through 22AWG to the light. Fuse I don't know yet.

I recently bent the derailleur cage a bit. Bent it back, everything's fine again.
So looked up the price of 2 derailleur cage plates, and from the start I also wanted a spare set of derailleur wheels.
Better to buy it complete:

For some reason cages are really expensive. It was only £10 more expensive to buy a full derailleur with the cage. Very annoying.

It's done. The front light (left) is now directly connected to the 36V (41V) of the battery.
The small one (right) has a battery inside, will be removed or stay there as spare.
Left side with BT remote for the Lupine helmet light:
Right side with bell and switches for the new front light:
Up to the bike shop now to deactivate the lights port.
I want my 10% back !

Hello,
You fixed a GPS on the stem. How did you fix it? I have a Garmin Dakota on the handle bar but since the tube is tapered the holder fixed with cable ties tents to get loose.

It's on page 2 from this tread, with pictures, for the Garmin 830.
For the Garmin 1040 I had to add a stem ring to get the Garmin mount a bit higher.
The Garmin Dakota doesn't seem to have a Garmin mount at the back, you will have to buy or invent something else.
Shame on me! I remember having read it some time ago!
The Dakota is in a holder where it slides in/out from forward direction, where it collides with the Kiox - if in front of it. Could do something with a hing kind thing. Well, I will see what I can do or if I switch for Christmas to some other GPS.
In any case I will enjoy following your tweakings.
Here is nice solution for stem mount: (click)
But for me this looks like this could be the hing type thing:

Did it on my TM and it made a cleaner and composed look and feel. Have ordered an acros ring which i will put in when brakes get a bleed and then the irc openings will be lower AND properly sealed for dirt with rubber push through cable throughputs.

The SM E-Mountain Core Prime is fine, I'll keep it !
A few days back I did a 40km night ride, the front light connected to the battery works very good too.
The bike shop just disabled the front lights port, normally I have my last 10% back too
Some mud, jumping, everything worked very good !

The new "2023" range is out.
Our 160S(L) is now 160SLX
www.cube.eu
Available in White or Black, not in Sand or Blue anymore.
There is a "race" version in Olive, Grey and Iceblue, but that's completely different.
The price went from 4999eur to 5429eur which is +8.6%, just like my salary index correction, unfortunately my bank intrest rate is different.
If I would have to buy one now, and have the choice, I would still buy the '22 Desert Sand I have.
The new 140SLX is there too in some new colors, same price, ~same bike, 29" wheels.

In our last ride there was a lot of deep mud.
With the Pirelli Scorpion M being used to <1mm tyre profile, the wheel slipped through a lot.
Time to mount the new one, this time, the Pirelli Scorpion R, also in 2.4
I chose the hardwall version: 3771800
www.probikeshop.com
The weared M at the left, the new R at the right.
Note the more important side knobs (like the S) and the bigger center knobs (between the M and S)
I expect slightly more rolling resistance on dry asphalt, same behaviour on wet asphalt,
better traction and braking grip in mud, better predictable grip in corners.

Who expected this? 10% price drop.
Did they go from undercapacity to overproduction, or does everybody want the 2023 model ?

You probably shouldn't mount a bag attached to your dropper post! Don't want to scratch that inner tube!I mounted the XT M8120 wide click pedals, a saddle toolbag, bell, lights and the Garmin.
The first impressions are very good !
The unfair comparision of a Decathlon Rockrider E-st900 and a Cube Stereo 160S 750Wh
Still very happy with my modified Decathlon Rockrider E-st900, but I absolutely needed a full suspension. The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SL 750 2022 was the only one available with a nice color and a >700Wh battery. I'm in between M-L sizes, both bikes are size L, surprisingly all dimensions...www.emtbforums.com
