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 like the connector is poor quality so it won’t make the eight connections properly. Find a motorcycle/scooter repair shop and have them either remove the connection and join the wires or put in a new high-quality connector.

    Normally I would suggest using reddit to find someone local to do it but…
