@chopper-uk: He has the crash on his Youtube channel (also on Pinkbike now), and there he says that he's okayish and trying to do the Quali tomorrow.

It's a somewhat common practice during muddy races, so that you don't slip off your saddle when you need to use it.
There is (was?) even a dedicated saddle with this type of layout.
See e.g. here:

Kazimer's Randoms Round II: China Cycle Show 2026
Maybe the Chinese tradition, where imitation is a sort of paying respect to the original plays a role here.
But for our western eyes it does indeed just look like a cheap rip off.

Yeah, something like the Polar Plug that unfortunately apparently failed as a Kickstarter Project during the Covid era:

The coldness of my hands doesn't change between a regular and an e-bike. I can be sweating on my torso and still have cold hands (and feet). Also the fastest speed you're going is obviously down the hill, where the motor does basically nothing.

I've heard reports that the Lizard Skins DSP Lever Grips can help with that. They're pretty thin, so shouldn't change the feel of the brake lever too much.
Unfortunately they were sold out when it was still cold here, but I have ordered some now and will try them next winter.
I might also try some hand guards, to maybe help protect against the cold head wind, but I'm not sure.
