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.

Most e-bike signal wiring — display, throttle, brake sensors, PAS sensor — uses small crimped pins, and a ratcheting crimper is the difference between a connection that lasts and one that fails on a bumpy road. The SN-28B is the inexpensive ratcheting crimper that handles Dupont-style and JST-XH pins, which covers a lot of the small terminals you will meet when repairing or extending harnesses. It does not crimp the larger battery-side connectors like XT60 or Anderson, which are soldered or need a different die. Learn on scrap wire first; a correct crimp takes a little practice.

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.
