That's like one of the worst connectors to have when dealing with large dirty metal vehicles. ๐
And its down near the back wheel and pedals. Thats gonna be real crunchy after a wet ride.
It's recessed with a rubber plug with an added o-ring. That's more protection than the barrel jack on my e-bike has.
My bike has a rubber plug that opens on its own :/
Plug is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184996570700
It would still be better to have the charge point up on the top tube. Having it down near the pedals also risks it being damaged when using it to charge your phone.
Is the charging port of your ebike accessible during biking? With my e-bike, the connector is well protected while the battery is mounted.
Mine has a shitty rubber lid that opens up on its own, but it is at least high enough on the frame that its away from the wheels and pedals. I also have an internal connector that is exposed when I remove the battery, but that is a pain to access, the battery is very hard to remove.
