I’ve got a Kiox on mine, but the shop fitted it before I took delivery.

Many thanks Wilko. Yes I can read it. This will be really helpful. I see what you mean about the grommets. The bike turned up about an hour ago. Said to the wife ' I must wipe it all over with anti bacterial wipes!!
One thing I noticed was that the frame appears to have some type of invisishield on it, was yours the same?

If you can feel ridges and it's in parts then it looks like it has had Invisframe (or similar) installed which is not standard and either your lbs has given it to you as part of the package or give paid extra for it (about £80 to buy as a kit and £120 ish fully installed).

Yeah, that looks like Invisiframe - lucky you! I paid £120 to get mine done but it was done by Invisframe themselves as a model for a small frame e-160s.

What a result!
Thanks for taking the time to do this write up, this will come in very handy when I do my Kiox upgrade
only came across this post while checking out some old posts 
In case anyone is interested in this, I’ve bought a grommet stretcher for doing this upgrade, I found it on eBay and the seller has some more, I made an offer and it was accepted, it was £20 but I think it’ll make life easier for getting the plug through the grommet without causing damage to either the plug or the grommet, that reminds me I need to order a new grommet from Whyte’s, Happy New Year everyone
I didn't have to move the motor at all, although I think you may have to for the later models.
I only moved the left cover out of the way then used the old (Purion) connector to pull through a bit of string then let the string hang through the battery hole.
Once you've got the new cable through the grommet and fed it down the frame tube your the string to the connector then jiggle the wire about while pulling gently on the string and it should find its way between the frame and motor without lowering the motor.

Thanks Wilko58
I finally got round to fitting my Kiox upgrade yesterday but I couldn’t get the plug back through the same hole the original one came through, I used my shifter cable guide with a little bit of tape but it wouldn’t go back through, I think it must have been fitted before the motor was fitted or the battery cable were fitted, I wasn’t going to be beaten, anyway all I did was follow the same route as the brake hose, simples, I’m looking forward to getting out for a ride to see how much better it is compared to the Purion display.
Another thing I discovered was that the plug/socket from the battery connector block had started to get a small build up of verdigris on one of the terminals, I cleaned it up and put some dielectric grease in the terminal, it seems to be working fine, I’m posting this for anyone who may be having intermittent issues with their bikes, I’m not saying that this would be the reason but I’m posting it anyway as I’m not an expert in this field, you get what I mean 
I think I’ve got to drop the motor on my 150RS, no way can I pull the plug end through the motor and frame space I’ve had a new motor fitted recently by the supplying LBS, maybe the main power cable is taking up too much space but I can’t move anything to get the plug past 
I also had that problem so I routed the cable over the motor following the brake hoseI think I’ve got to drop the motor on my 150RS, no way can I pull the plug end through the motor and frame space I’ve had a new motor fitted recently by the supplying LBS, maybe the main power cable is taking up too much space but I can’t move anything to get the plug past
Thanks for that @EMTBSEAN.I also had that problem so I routed the cable over the motor following the brake hose
I rerouted the gear cable through drive side of the motor, may have room there also……..love this forum for this kind of stuff.
Thanks for reply and stay vertical

I hope to be vertical when I’ve had my back ablation procedure done next Monday, I’ve fitted so many new parts on my bike recently and not been able to ride and test them
Maybe you could start a new thread, I think you’ll get a better response that way mate
Well take it canny when you do get your first ride out mind, don’t go doing owt daft with a mad rush of blood 
When are you hoping to on the bike again ?

I can tell your from the north east with your dialect lol, I love that area, very picturesque, I digress 
I’m like a coiled spring mate, my procedure is next Monday unless it gets cancelled like last time, I’ll have to rest for at least four days but after that it’s wham bam thank you ma’am I suppose I’ll have to do a local ride to start with, nothing too strenuous plus I’ve lost all my fitness and I’ve put on a ton of weight with the side effects of all the pain killers I’ve been on, it’ll be back to the gym for me and a long road back to normal, it took me almost two years to loose over six and a half stone and five months to put three back on

And I think I’ve got bother with a couple of kg I can’t seem to shift from Christmas……,good luck and a speedy recovery
Rail (625Wh) - Kiox retro fit top tube mount
I have a Rail 5 on order from Trek Bristol and I have also just received a retrofit kit. Trek Bristol kindly offered to fit the kit before I collect. I’ve noticed there is a Rail specific top tube mount, would I need a controller with a longer wire to use this mount? I spotted in another thread...

Do you prefer it there to the stem? I thought I'd prefer it there, but now I'm not so sure.
There seem to be some top tube options, but the one I've just seen looks like a badly 3d printed part.
