Rewire existing mac kit

[JoyRiddin]

Hello,

I have a EM3EV mac kit that has the typical bulky connectors and a nice connector for a cycle analyst ad a PAS. I would like to rewire the kit to a more unified design and move the wheel connections closer to the wheel for easier tire repair and removal. Does anyone know where the best place to source the wires and connectors?

The best place is likely heavily dependent on exactly which connectors you are looking for, and where you are. The connectors you mentioned are JST-SM.

Some sage advice might be to fill the backs of these connectors with some sort of sealant/dielectric grease paired with wire heat shrink for neatness.

I've bought wire either locally or at hobbyking.com, you'll probably have troubles finding high strand count (very flexible) wire locally, at least in the gauges you'd likely use for your electric bicycle.

Thank you bowl of salad for the reply. I should have spent more time composing my thoughts. I was looking for a bullet type connector or connectors that I can place closer to the wheel that will carry the three phase wires and the hall sensor wires and the temp sensor wires.
