Perfect! Waiting eagerly for your trip report.

Nice!

When mine are charged fully they go together without problems. The advantage of running parallel is you put less stress on the batteries and probably don't fully cycle them. Both of these will lead to longer life. If you are not comfortable you could just run them sequentially.

Making them lighter is something that needs focus, not just for road bikes. My Haibike mtb is far too heavy for the amount of power it produces / I use.

Why? XT 60 connectors make and break both together and are keyed so they can't be fitted the wrong way round.

I would use XT60 connectors. Just put XT60 splitter into Ebay for a ready made one, of course you will have to solder plugs on to the wires yourself. On mine I was able to solder directly to the bottom of the battery connection terminals on the battery holder.

That's what the Vivax is!

Connect them in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative. Make sure the voltages are close to identical (0.2v ish) when connecing them. Disconect them from each other before charging or you will bypass the BMS.

Don't know if it's the lightest but at 10.3kg this is lighter. https://www.vivax-assist.com/en/product/e-rennrad/fahrrad.php?id=1021

Just to highlight the different terrain here, 2 rides one yesterday, And one today (unpowered)

Yes, front brake is always the more efficient, when you brake more weight goes onto the front wheel so it has more traction. Its the same reason a lot of cars have front discs and rear drums or at least bigger discs on the front.

I knew that I was just teasing;) or maybe bringing a different point of view to the table. Very few around here actually have 600W motors, the vast majority here are Bosch / Yamaha crank drives. Very few hub drives in the mountains though you do see plenty in the Inn valley. I think the 600W...

I'm in the Alps, 10% average over 10km is one of my local hills (with a down in the middle). Most of my rides are somewhere between 1 and 2 thousand meters of climbing with occasional outings over 3000. We are allowed 600W motors here.

Just had a quick look on the local Intersport website, every mountain bike has a front mech. Very few people ride here with 1X setups, only the very lightest and fittest.

Of course it depends on your target market, I wish I had spent a bit more on a better fork (maybe my next upgrade ) nearly every time I go out on mine I'm using most if not all of the travel. Brakes also need a lot of consideration when you have an extra 12 - 15kg of bike to stop.

I've only borrowed it, I really live in the grim mining area in the North East of England. While it lasts (we will have to see what Brexit brings) living here for the biking in the summer and skiing in the winter suits us perfectly. We go back to the U.K. for spring and autumn.

That was in Salzburg, I'm in Tirol;)
