I need to join 2 of these male connectors to bypass a faulty Bms
and what are they called? where can I buy them?

What size are the sockets (female) on the PCB, RC bullet style connectors are available in a number of sizes IE 2.5, 3.5, 4mm etc They may fit....

A word of caution all batteries are dangerous.
These are just a few of the many hundreds of videos on youtube
YouTube - World's Most Dangerous Battery!
YouTube - Lithium Polymer Battery Explosion's (liposack)
YouTube - 21 LifeP04 Destruction
If you are going to try and fix or repair a battery be aware of the possible consequences.

I can take the bms with me to buy them and are they called bullets?
Will maplins sell them or rs?

Nice connector's - I've not seen those before. It's possible that Maplin has them, but if they don't, you can probably cut them off and replace them with any suitable connector that you can get from a radio control shop.

Well, what I was thinking (I don't know the exact connector you show in your picture) is you could use these RC type bullet connectors to extend what you have, so long as the diamters are the same:

3.5mm Simply RC Bullet 3.5mm Connector Set for Motors (3 Pairs)

EDIT: Ah! found them....they seem to be Castle connectors:

Castle Bullet Connectors 6.5mm CCR0965

Hi Steve never seen one before

it will probably be easier to get a new BMS from optibike in will the just plug in

you will need to bodge it to test the battery

I was going to join 2 of these so I can run the external battery and test it?
I will get a price for a new bms from optibike?
If they want a fortune for the bms can i run without it?

These are the female connectors on the Bms
