Thanks LAnton!
Two differrent motors.wondering... are there two versions of the M820 motor? One 43v and one 36v? Or is there only one motor that is compatible with both 43v and 36V? i.e. can you switch between batteries of different voltages on the same motor?
Unfortunately it is the buyers who think a mountain bike should be pretty instead of practical.Looks like I'll need 2 x shoeboxes for CEF50. One full of hangers, the other full of headsets
Seriously, who makes these decisions? Proprietary hangers and obscure headsets!
Headset cable routing I can live with (just) but at least use commonly available components FFS.
This is insanity.
Cool. I'm back to 1x shoebox full of hangersAny 52mm top ICR headset will fit tbh, I tried a Cane creek 52mm bearing and fits perfectly.
2 version 36v and 43v. 36v motor can use 43v battery but will show wrong battery display. vice versa.wondering... are there two versions of the M820 motor? One 43v and one 36v?

But headsets are not spec'ed by the bearing size but the opening in the headset. So the SHIS label for this bike should be ZS56/28.6 upper ZS66/40 lower, correct?Any 52mm top ICR headset will fit tbh, I tried a Cane creek 52mm bearing and fits perfectly.
what size is it?After weeks of harassing Linda to send me pics. She finally did. She said the bike will ship this Friday. So I’m going hold my breath between now and then. Which is a lot because the longest I’ve been able to hold my breath this far has been 32 seconds.

XLwhat size is it?
Looks quite good. Metal compression ring, good seal for the cables and also sleve, to protect steerer tube from cable rub. Nice.I think I have found the upper headset I will use.
Made by Token for Nukeproof
It looks like it has 4 very well sealed ports and is ZS56/28.6

hey that's the same colour as mine! I told them to leave the rocker pivot black though. Whew, not complete twinsies. Looks like you are in Vancouver... I'm in the Okanagan so we likely won't bump into each other on the trails anywaysAfter weeks of harassing Linda to send me pics. She finally did. She said the bike will ship this Friday.

Best design so far I've seen in my limited knowledge of them, and after trying to hunt down these damn ICR headsets the past few monthsI think I have found the upper headset I will use.

Yep...even in my normal drier southwest desert conditions, I still want a tight seal if I ever wash my bike down! Plus, I often camp in our local Alpine mountains during the summer season where it rains a lot during monsoon months...so would prefer not to deluge the headset and compromise the electronics.Yes the idea of water getting in and flowing down into the battery is a nightmare to me.
Be aware that many caulking sealant have corrosive agents that help it cure.
adhere academy: are RTV silicone sealants corrosive?
"Acetoxy
As the name suggest, the by-product of cure is acetic acid. Most people carrying out DIY work on showers, baths and kitchens are familiar with acetoxy cure silicone sealants that give off the characteristic odour resembling strong vinegar. This family of sealants dominates the world of silicone sealants because of their extensive use as construction sealants in buildings in such applications as expansion joints, window installations, etc. However, the formation of acetic acid places a restriction on their use in applications where non-corrosion is a prerequisite."
adhere academy: are RTV silicone sealants corrosive?
Yes, some are. It is good to understand this chemistry and the different types so that you can make sure you choose an appropriate RTV silicone sealant for your application.www.intertronics.co.uk
Orange@LAnton What is the color of your second frame? Is it one of the four next to your green one?
