Orbea Rise H20 MY 2023 help needed - how easy is it to swap the motor controller cable from right to left?

[wildsau2]

hey,
i ve changed successfully from shimano xt to sram axs. now the controller cable is the only cable which goes into the frame on the right side. this looks „cheap“ and „unprotected“.
does anyone know if there is an easy way to swap the cable to the left side? are there connectors? or must i take off motor and battery?
changing the stem to the M20 stem with internal routing possible?
thanks a lot.

To swap side with cable you need to drop motor and battery, there are movies how to do it, no problems anyway. As for internal routing I am not sure why someone would like to go this way but I had that in Focus and cables were bent almost 90 degrees. I did not see 2023 head tube but to route cables inside it should be wider but I may be wrong

thx @lockin for your help and your pics.
my first choice is just to swap externally from right to left.
you have an carbon frame? i dont think those parts fits on the alloy version because of the tampered thing.

Mi Rise is H30 alloy, I specially ordered version for 2022 to have normal cable routing (old fasion) since I do a lot of maintenance myself

the new 23 alloy has the same routing as the 22 alloy. external!
only the carbon model 23 has internal routing (which i dont like, except for the fiddly controller cable)
