Kuberg freerider uses a 500w charger on a xlr barrel connector, now when everything is new a shiny that's the limit of its spec but when that connector gets oxidized with ages no matter how careful you are it will begin to get warm.
Took my bike off charge and burnt my fingerprints off I was like that's not normal so I had an inspection and came across this melted connector after doing the math I concluded it's piss pour choice
I done a bit of browsing and found Anderson powerpole connectors in a small enough size with housing to replace the existing jobby this is a picture of me half way through, I needed to make an extra plate to cover up the existing holes.
While the battery was out I had a look at the batterys output terminals from the controller they are Anderson power poles from the factory I not checked the rating on these yet but the connection again is shit what a mess bare wire twisted up and not all is even in the connector considering this is a factory bike never been altered just a joke.
