Does the light blink though?

It's easy enough to make one with your preferred switch also. You can buy XT60 pigtails and solder or crimp on a connector. They also sell pigtails with connectors already crimped on. But I would just change over to a different connector as Chargeride suggested if that is possible...

Reminds me of friction shifters. What's old is new again.

I've never regretted having more gears. On a related topic, I also love manual transmissions in cars, but I haven't been able to buy one in decades because my wife only knows how to drive an automatic transmission and won't learn to shift gears. They are selling bikes with auto shifting these...

Hard to say without trying it. I am on the shorter side and always have a very short stem on my bikes. A shorter stem makes the steering more twitchy though and a longer stem helps with that.

I have this Jones H-Bar on my Surly Disc Trucker and like it a lot. It has a few inches of rise to it and you can get it in silver or black.

Those would be too flat for me. Something like the Nitto Bosco Bars would offer more hand positions. https://www.rivbike.com/products/nitto-bosco-bar-cromo-dullbrite-55cm-x-25-4-16240 Grant Petersen makes some beautiful bikes, but he is also well known for his cycling philosophy and his book...

You find biscuits in the refrigerated section next to the Pilsbury crescent rolls. Cookies are in the cookie section. ;)

It doesn't have to be expensive though. I know you are in Europe, but I see steel forks as cheap as $30 here. You can probably get a decent one for $50-$60. You may be able to pick one up used, but the steerer tube could have already been cut. If you don't have disc brakes, replacing the fork...

Huh, I didn't know hydraulic rim brakes existed. Pretty cool.

Yeah, I don't see the appeal of those Super73 type bikes, but they are very popular. If you are actually going to pedal, you need a bike with a bicycle style seat.

Do you need to put Brembo brakes on your commuter car? No, but some people do. And maybe they will save your life coming down a mountain road if you don't know how to downshift and use the motor to slow down. Why the big debate? Those brakes will stop that bike just fine. Maybe high end...

Buying a steel fork may be a better option...

The description says: G311 Torque Arm GRIN Front Torque Arm for G311 Motors. Replaces Disk Side Anti-Rotation Washer. Requires Fork with Fender Eyelets. You could email them at [email protected]. They responded to a question i sent them New Year's Eve. They sell some of their small products on...

Torque arms are recommended. Grin torque arms are the gold standard. This is the torque arm they sell for the Bafang G311 motor that you have: https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/torque-arms/torqarm-311.html
