Dielectric grease is the cheapest fix for a whole class of e-bike gremlins: intermittent displays, flickering lights and charge ports that corrode after a wet ride. A thin film on the rubber seals and around the pins of waterproof connectors keeps water and oxygen out. It does not conduct electricity, so you apply it sparingly to the connector body and seals rather than packing the pins. The Permatex tube is the automotive standard, widely sold, and lasts forever. Do not use it on battery contacts or anywhere the maker says to keep dry, and disconnect the battery before working on connectors.

Most hub-motor e-bikes use round waterproof Julet or Higo connectors for the display, throttle, brake cutoffs and motor. When one pin is bent or corroded, you can often release and replace that pin instead of replacing the whole cable. A pin extractor kit is a set of thin hollow tubes and picks that depress the pin's retention tab so it slides out the back. Quality varies between sellers, and you need to match the pin size, so look for a kit that lists e-bike connector sizes. Always unplug the battery first and photograph the pin order before pulling anything.

Any time a wire on an e-bike is repaired or a connector is replaced, the joint needs to be sealed against water and vibration, and adhesive-lined heat shrink is the right way to do that. Wirefy's assortment kit has a range of diameters in a labeled box, with an inner glue layer that melts and seals the joint when heated. A heat gun is better than a lighter. It is a basic consumable that every home mechanic doing any wiring should have. One safety rule: if a repair involves cutting into the main battery or motor wiring, or there is burnt smell or melted insulation, stop and get an E-Bike Assessment.
