this is my only experience of ebike kits and fitting but would like advice on where to run the wiring please.
I am thinking wiring from handlebars along the face of B down seatpost tube to C
moter cable up to C.

there is a front deralier for the triple chainring and a gadget that catches the chain if it comes off.

I might put the controller in a water bottle and mount on tube C depends on length of wiring.

It's mostly dependant on controller location (obviously)

Here's what nornally do.

Controller on seat tube:

Run wires from bars with rear brake cable, then route underneath top tube, then down seat tube. From motor, leave a drip loop, then along top of chan stay, then up seat tube. I always cable tie control cables and tape motor cable, just in case I need to remove motor wheel to repair puncture at side of road. I always carry electrical tape.

If the controller is on the down tube, then go on top of it to controller.
