Maybe I’m not as familiar with setups as I thought because I have no idea what that grey panel is behind the front wheel. What is it?!

I’m gonna be the first to say it: “Ewh! An eBike!”

With that out of the way, you may want to consider moving some stuff around. That rear looks heavy and with a squish, it’ll likely cause issues. Not to mention, you’ll suffer on climbs as that front will be light and the rear quite heavy (you’ll be sitting also).
I assume the armour plating is a battery box?

Also, you seem to be missing a feedbag and a way to drink on the go.

Finally, somebody who doesn’t put a bunch of crap on the front of their bike. Great job! My only suggestion is to put anything that you would regularly want to access during any ride, to pack it in your LEFT pannier. Why? …. Well, since driving is on the left side of the road = When you pull over to grab something (e.g. a tube repair kit or tool) your ass wont be out in road with your eyes/head facing away from traffic! If you put regularly accessed items on the left, while accessing your pannier, you will be able to watch traffic or see any psycho slowing down to get to you, your bike, or your stuff.
SOURCE: I rode the entirety of Route 66 in the US and this tip literally saved my life TWICE!

If your taking the eurovelo 1, be aware that there’s some work being done on railway networks and new roads that might cut off some sections. I know the eurovelo 1 in west limerick will be a bit affected next week for sure, so just be sure you have a map or something to figure out some small work arounds
