Is this normal on new Spectral ON CF8?

[AirTime77]

It has the new EP80001 motor.
Is it normal that it sits so far in or recessed in the frame?

Worried about debris and water going in.

Yeah, that's normal.

Hello, a new spectral on cf9 owner! We can not charge or use the batery yet because a crack issue.
But revising the bike I have seen the same 'windows' and an electric wire inside.
Did you have any wet or water issue regardind this electric connection?
Thanks!

As said in another thread, return the bike now.

Thanks Irie for your advise. That was just another point I detected, no electric issues read with that wire in a wet area... ?

E bikes hate water. never pressure wash, and wash with hose is last resort. I washed ever ride and bike had tons of issues shutting down after 1000' climbs. Less to no washing has resulted in a perfect running bike. What you are showing is all waterproof. Our bikes are awesome when working right, and occasional water is not the end of the world. But these bikes like being dry. Ill wash it with a wet rag in future to keep it clean. Setting records on strava on mine.
