SR Suntour Hub Flylead/Connector

[bigi]

I am trying to repair a dog chewed motor cable on a Carrera vengeance 2.1e. I'm more than happy to strip the motor down and replace the cable, but i am really struggling to find out what the 9 pin connector is that joins the hub to the controller - all the ones i've seen have 9 pins, but with a central one. I would have thought finding a replacement cable, or even an extension cable would be easy to find!

Can anyone offer any advice please?

The cable is easy to find. It's on Ebay, Amazon, Aliexpress and everywhere else, but you won't find the cable with the Suntour connector unless you can find a used one on Ebay. All you need to do is solder the nine wires and heatshrink them.

How could the dog chew the cable when it's all tied down and tucked in? What really happened?

Thanks for the reply. I’ve identified it as a Higo Z115A connector but they don’t list that specific one, so clearly an awkward custom one!
it’s actually my nephews bike - it’s kept in the house and they have a new puppy…I was as surprised as you as never seen dogs chew cables like that before! I did think of just splicing some cable in but was worried about water ingress and unsure if the cable was reinforced (only seen images so far). Will resign myself to a spliced cable then….

If I were the judge, I'd find the puppy innocent of that one. To me, it doesn't look like what a puppy would do. Once they start, they don't stop. I'm thinking that it was damaged by the kickstand because the cable wasn't tied back properly after wheel removal. When and why was the kickstand removed?

I've spliced motor cables many times. heatshring the individual ones, then put a big heatshrink over all of them. You can also add a couple of small cable-ties to close the ends if you want, but don't pull so tight that you squish the cable.

Like I say I haven’t seen it physically yet so can only go on what he’s told us! You may well be right though, I notice there’s a missing zip tie….
Fair enough, I’ve spliced enough car cables before, think I’ve got some shrink wrap with adhesive in them which might come in useful. Thanks for the advice!

Hi the Velcro’s cover is missing .
where the damage is .

If you are able to you could just wire a a replacement standard 9 pin Chinese cable and extension into your motor then up to the ECU / Controller the colours are the same on Suntours and YOSE for instance you can get cable s from YOSE or as Senegal said e bay has lots .

or just do a repair there are some handy heat gun soldering connectors that work well then heat shrink over the top of them.

It all works with a heat gun for DIY

Or look on e bay for some one who is selling a Suntour motor for parts only and ask to buy the wire coming out of the motor only you might be lucky if you offer £20 quid for just the wire
