Yes I would. I could derestrict my current bike, but see no need to do so. 25 kph limit.

There are just 2 wires from the 6 V light connector leading to the USB connector, which is mounted on the top tube. https://www.canyon.com/en-fi/gear/bike-parts/spare-and-wear-parts/spare-wear-parts/canyon-gp0115-01-usb-powersocket/10002759.html

I am not sure that it is wise. USB is supposed to have only 5 V . My Canyon has a USB outlet, I am pretty certain the connector has a voltage dropping circuitry inside.

So, this is a post I did not want to make. But since usually people only complain, I thought it would be nice to hear a different story. My 2019 Spectral on developed play in rear suspension main pivot. I examined it and found a broken main pivot axle. I also knew that it would take tools that...

A new chainstay to replace one with broken main pivot threads and main pivot bearings and parts...

Rattle can paint job or maybe taping over 😂

That is probably the one I'd choose, black and white are too boring. Not seen the red live though...

Basically the motor systems available in Europe are Bafang and Oli. Polini maybe in the future. Other systems are very hard to find and costly. E.g. Shimano E-800 at about 1200 € for the bare motor and I've only seen those available 3 times in single digit numbers so far.
