  1. Can anyone help with sourcing a HIGO connector please. IMG_20201025_104425.jpg IMG_20201025_104507.jpg
    I've spent hours searching the net for one, all the 4 PIN male connectors I see don't have the D shape which mine has:
    I enclose a photo of what I'm after.

  3. Would it work if you got a round male connector and file a flat on it so it fits the D shaped hole?

  4. That's a great idear, I'm doing this because I have a knackered ebike throttle. I can buy a new throttle with the connector fitted, but the price is circa £45. I have already stripped the old throttle down to replace a blown Hall sensor and it's such a badly made and designed cheapskate item that I would like to replace the whole throttle with a superior quality item, (costing about a fiver) hence needing to fit this particular connector which mates with the female in the block shown in my last photo.

  5. Havn't told the full story-yet.
    How I destroyed my newly aquired ebike in less than 5 mins.

    Bought the bike, brought it home on my towbar rack.
    Set out for my first ride after quickly fitting a Bungee strap to the rear rack as it didn't have any method of fixing things on the rack.
    Rode for less than 5 minutes, Bungee strap threw itself off the rack and decided to entangle itself in the gears and wind itself round the rear hub motor, bringing the bike to a unwanted sudden halt.
    Now motor not working-FFS!
    After much investigation and testing, found out I had fried the controller due to motor trying to overcome the Bungee wrapped around the motor.
    Nearly now all resolved after buying and fitting a replacement controller .
     
  6. Bugger is the only word appropriate. Who'd have thought?
