Encoder Motor Cable for Makeblock mBot2
Replacement cable between the encoder motor and the mBot2 Shield. Cheap, and the cause of more 'dead motor' reports than actual dead motors.
Fitment notes
For the mBot2 / mBot Neo encoder motor connection.

Why this fails
The motor cable is repeatedly flexed every time a class set is packed away, and the connector is the weak point. A cracked cable reads exactly like a dead motor: the wheel does not turn, or the encoder reports nothing.
Diagnose before replacing a motor
Swap the cable with a known-good one first. It is a fraction of the price of a motor and fixes the fault more often than not.
