During the Lockdown I have been looking at what electric bikes are available. I have an Elife grande which I think is a Viking made for Ideal Home channel which is working fine.

I have found one up for sale which is a good price but it has a fault. One of the leads that goes into the brake lever has come out, since that happened the motor cuts out occasionally and I wondered if it was something I can sort out myself. I have attached a couple of pics if that helps.

Thank you4058340584

Your pics are blurred and I can't see properly. I suspect that the intermittant cut outs are caused by the red and lack wires touching. Insulate them from one another and should get rid of fault.
Post some clearer pictures and we will be able to help with the cable.

You only need one brake switch, so if you have one on the other lever, you can disconnect the faulty one.
