first of all i have to make a statement: I HATE TO SEE WIRES hanging around or BEING VISIBLE at all.
so based on that statement i did everything to hide the motor and battery wires inside the battery box. the hole box was designed to do that. the motor is encapsulated and the battery and bms as well, so this was easy as no wires went outside the box.
but there still is the CA and 2 led lights to be powered, and the speed signal attached to the CA. as i like to improve/re-install my bike on a regular basis the CA, the throttle, the 3-way switch and the light's supply must be detachable. so i made one single thick wire bundle from the controller to the CA that includes: 6 CA wires (gnd, vcc, sh+, sh-, spd, throttle), 2x led vcc. the throttle and 3-way switch are connected to the CA by a 3-pin JST headers (as pre-installed). and there is this audio-jack hanging from the CA for firmware upgrade.
all this needs to made HIDDEN and WATERPROOF. and i don't know how.
i started to design a box below the CA to home all the connectors, but my 3D-CAD practice makes this a very hard to reach goal.
i could use waterproof connectors. but which ones? they need to be SMALL so i can install them at the controller side covers or on the bottom of the CA.
i will make some pictures so you can make yourself a picture what the bike looks like now. this causing my some REAL headaches for several weeks now, and bike season is at my door step ...
