It’s getting like Groundhog Day round here of late

Is that a carbon bicycle?

If so, it makes it having a motorino less likely.

The motor must be located by a bolt through the seat tube, otherwise the motor would spin in the tube rather than use its power to turn the bottom bracket.

The locating bolt/rivet is also another way to tell if the the bike has a motor.

It's possible to disguise the bolt/rivet head by paint or by putting it under a decal, but someone running their fingertips around the tube would feel it.
long bottle cage bolt?

Or profile the interior of the tube to act as a key, bond it, all sorts of methods, most of which can be made invisible with a modicum of care.
