Ok so I have a few friends and people I work with who have stromers. We work as bike couriers. I personally do all the work on my bike (I have plenty of tools) and in my circle of friends I'm the only one who is not afraid to do so. I also repair cell phones and re-solder chips (imei repairs).
Anyhow a friend of mine messaged me today saying another co-worker apparently had some sort of fall that did some damage to the wire that connects the battery to the motor. It's the cable that runs from motor to battery right under the BB.
He told me that the local dealer just told the dude that a new motor is needed. We're talking $1500+ here. My friend cannot afford right now. I totally get why the dealer just says to replace the motor- I'm guessing it has to do with amount of service required to re-solder vs just swaping in a new motor etc. That and re-soldering probably isn't up to the stromer standard of care.
This said I wish to help my friend. However I'm sorta inexperienced in this matter (although I did recently fix a frayed light wire on my stromer). I have all the tools needed to do the job- multimeter, soldering station, rosin and solder, heat shrink, etc. I'm just wondering what kind of connector and wires I will need to buy from the electrical store.
Also any guidance or links to sites who discuss such repairs would be appreciated!
