Higo-Connectors
HIGO is one of the leading manufacturers of connectors and cable systems for e-bikes. The connectors are installed worldwide by e-bike manufacturers as OEM components and are at the same time the most widely used solution for repair and retrofitting in workshops.
What is HIGO?
HIGO (Dongguan Higo Wire Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese specialist manufacturer of waterproof connectors and cable assemblies that has focused on the e-bike market. The products are characterised by standardised designs, high protection ratings (IP44–IP67) and broad system compatibility.
HIGO connectors are available both as original equipment for new e-bikes (OEM) and in the aftermarket for repair, replacement and custom assemblies. Workshops and service providers value the standardised designs, which enable direct compatibility with a wide range of drive systems.
HIGO connector series overview
HIGO divides its connectors into two main families: the Mini Series for standard applications and the Micro Series for space-saving installation situations. Within each family there are specialised types for different application areas.
HIGO Mini-B
Standard connector for battery connections. Robust, widely used, available as Standard, Special Type 1 and Special Type 2 extension cables.
HIGO Mini-C / Mini-F
For signal and motor lines. Mini-C for general signal applications, Mini-F for motor control and higher current capacity.
HIGO Micro-A / Q / X
Smaller design for space-saving installation situations. Micro-A, Micro-Q and Micro-X cover different pin counts and current classes.
Where are HIGO connectors used?
HIGO connectors are found in almost all areas of e-bike electrics – from the battery and motor through to displays, sensors and lighting.
| Application area | Typical series | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Battery connection | Mini-B | Connection between battery and frame or controller. High current capacity, reverse polarity protection. |
| Motor control | Mini-F | Lines between controller and motor. Multi-pin for phase cables and sensor signals. |
| Display system | Mini-C Micro-A | Connection between controller and display. Often 4–6-pin for data and power supply. |
| Sensors & switches | Micro-Q Micro-X | PAS sensors, brake sensors, light switches. Compact design for confined installation spaces. |
| Extensions & adapters | All series | Cable extensions for frame replacement, conversions or repairs. Can be made to length from 100–10,000 mm. |
HIGO connectors are not manufacturer-exclusive and are used by numerous e-bike brands – including systems from Bosch, Shimano Steps, Yamaha, Bafang and various Chinese OEM manufacturers. The exact connector pin assignment varies by model and year. Please contact us by email for compatibility questions.
HIGO connectors – not just for e-bikes
HIGO connectors are used wherever waterproof, reliable low-voltage connections are needed. Their standardised design, high protection rating (IP44–IP67) and wide availability make them the first choice in many areas.
Electric scooters & e-scooters
Many electric scooters and e-scooters use the same HIGO connectors as e-bikes – especially for battery connections and motor lines.
Cargo bikes & freight bicycles
Electric cargo bikes often have more complex cable systems with more connection points. HIGO extensions and splitters enable flexible adaptations.
DIY & custom-built vehicles
For self-built electric vehicles, conversion projects and experimental drives, HIGO connectors offer a professional, waterproof connection solution.
Mobility aids
Electric wheelchairs and mobility aids rely on the same robust connector systems – reliable, low-maintenance and easy to replace.
Solar & low voltage
Wherever battery systems are used in the low-voltage range (12V–48V) – motorhomes, boats, off-grid solar installations – HIGO connectors are a proven solution.
Industry & equipment engineering
Wherever compact, waterproof connectors for low voltage are needed – in machines, devices or outdoor installations – HIGO connectors offer a standardised solution.
For applications outside the standard e-bike area, we offer custom assemblies in individual lengths and configurations. Simply enquire: Product enquiry →
