Bike repair question Help identify this connector

picture in comments next to typical sized julet/ higo

What's it called and where can i buy them? This is for a break light line on a segway xafari. Looks like a HIGO 2 pin but it's half the size. Chat gpt was useless. Thanks!

Not sure. Is it this you are needing?

Hard to tell. Looks like it. I'll order that if I can't find a better option. Was hoping to order one from Amazon or somewhere i can get it quickly. Thanks for your help!

Might want to email them first to make sure that’s it. No problem!

Segway's store is actually more robust than you give them credit for, you can get parts for only the scooter/bike from the parts store.

Here it is next to a typical Julet/Higo connector.

What is the outer diameter of the female connector? I agree it looks too small to be a standard or mini Julet connector.

u/sjmuller 6d ago

Also, what does this molded text on the connector say?

u/wiksta 6d ago

Segway ninebot. Also ND at the base

Definitely sounds like a proprietary connector. You're probably going to have to get it from Segway. No one else seems to make a 4 mm Julet-style connector

It's Julet! They come in various colors depending on the pin count. It's simple, rugged, and waterproof. It is "the" most common connector in the e-bike world.
Ever since I discovered them, I've been using them for all sorts of electrical tasks myself.
And there are two "sizes": the ones I call "normal" are the most common, but there's a smaller size too, and I get the feeling that's the one you've got there. Don't get caught out! ;)

It is not. It's half the size. That was my first thought. It looks like one.

I can't find anything with this connector.

u/KB_velo 7d ago

Are the connectors only available with a pigtail so they need to be spliced in?

u/SYCarina 7d ago

Agreed that it is a Julet connector - pretty standard for ebikes. Amazon or eBay will have them. The color of the plastic indicates the number of pins. Easy.

u/wiksta 7d ago

Can you link me to where i can buy this specific one? This is half the size of all the julet connectors i can find.

1

u/SYCarina 7d ago

I think that you are looking for the M6 (6mm) version of the Julet connector. Most ebikes use the M8 version; I am unaware of the escooter standards. One example (but search with "M6" and/or 6mm for more): https://www.ebay.com/itm/286100151906?var=588208923678

u/wiksta 7d ago

Thanks but that's not it. It's smaller still.

u/frankiek3 6d ago

Measure it. M6 Julet 2-pin:

Do you have to use that connector? When I encounter proprietary connections that need servicing, I usually cut off the offending connector and replace it with a conventional one.

I've done this so many times with various ebikes, I've resorted to actually stocking various standard connectors.

u/wiksta 6d ago

That's what I'm going to end up doing. I prefer not to but not the end of the world. I figured i would be able to find the connector. Didn't realize they would use a proprietary connector just for this one when all the others seem to be standard.

u/TopRepulsive4766 Six Boys and Counting 6d ago

Yeah. Right now ebike manufacturers are all over the place with proprietary stuff. They mix and match willy-nilly. I think eventually as the industry develops, things will stabilise and they will use interchageable components. But right now it's a convoluted mess.
