It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I have tried: taping them together, hot glueing them together and ziptying it right to the frame to prevent jiggle.

All have failed.

Right now, when I reconnect them and apply pressure, I can't even get the engine to turn on anymore. But the speedometer still works and that signal is sent through the engine cable too.

Recently, sometimes the engine rear wheel barely rolls when I roll the bike backwards.

There are no ebike repair stores in my city.

Sounds to me like a poorly made connector. Maybe you can order a new one?

You could also try putting a piece of shrink tubing over it, plugging it in, then shrinking the tubing over the whole connector.

Can you provide pics? Might help us figure out options

Did you ever get this working? Have you tried gaffer's tape maybe? Shrink tubing? @ThePhoenixFire@lemmy.perthchat.org
