Vitus E-Mythique LT Enduro EMTB - Bargain of the year

although I always frown when I see an XT60 connector

There are several XT60 connectors throughout the bike. Even one built into the M510 motor. They seem to be pretty reliable. My son has a ton of them on RC cars that get beat to death and we've never had a problem with them.

Yes, good for RC stuff, they’re my most used connector on my flying and driving models, but the only place I’ve seen them on e-bikes is on conversion kits and Chinese batteries.

I think at the least they should use something a bit more long term moisture resistant given it’s a bicycle and will be exposed to weather, condensation and movement etc.

Just for kicks I removed everything from the battery case a weighed it. Looks like you can shave over 2.6kgs. I popped it back in the bike just to make sure everything would fit. Would be a nice shuttle option.

Been using them for over 10 years on various EBikes and never had to change a single one nor had a problem with them. Get the anti spark versions XT60 & XT90 With Spark Arrestors : Why You Should Make The Switch if you can but to be honest I have had the standard versions and remove my battery to recharge every time without a problem.
