Ah motor might be crushing cable = shift issues abound. Normally you have to grind a bit off bottom of Bullitt frame to fit a bafang, hopefully they haven't jammed cable in same place OR, motors tend to slide around and rest against frame in one direction or another, so under load motor has moved a tiny bit and pinched the cable.
All in sounds like the new boy has not done a great job at that shop. However, as a bike shop guy also, its basically impossible to find a Number 2 who is as attentive/tries to do a decent honest job, and sometimes you just really need a day or more off and not possible to sanity check every single thing they do before it goes out the door even though you'd like to. So yeah, fix the issues you can then get back to them when he's back off holiday.

Yes I completely understand the need to delegate - and then also understand that not everything will be as perfectly done as you would have expected in your absence. I am trying to be sympathetic.
As Amey says no grinding required anymore. I don't think @Chalfie had any grinding or drilling on his either (different Bafang)

I've just stuck it together with Sugru. Can't be fucked drilling out rivets on a mudguard.
As for the gearing, yes there is a kink in the cable now. I can't straighten it because of where Besbike have put the housing between the motor and the underside of the frame. It's not possible to even move the housing a mm or 2. See the above pic.
It's only very slightly misaligned now with the two yellow lines. I will just have to suck it up. Not bringing it back to Besbike to have the motor taken off. I emailed Alex earlier today asking him if he was around, no response. From the time delay and the times I've received a response from him I'm guessing he's abroad.
