Installed replacement magic smoke in the battery control gubbins for the electrified baraktacycle. Added an extra crowbar circuit and a smaller dedicated fuse on the input to the DC:DC converter for good measure. While I was doing this, some M3 screws appeared, and I was able to secure the sockets properly in their panels.
Quadruple-checked everything with a multimeter[1], connected to the trike's wiring loom, sacrificed some chickens and powered it up. Nothing went bang. The bike lights lit up. The power meter started metering power. And the console indicated that the motor was present and reporting battery voltage.
Spurred by success, I did some more tedious mechanical fettling with a view to the electrickery not bouncing out of the enclosure into the path of a taxi on the first pothole.
Returned it to the trike, powered up, and with barakta turning the cranks and me doing the human workstand impression, confirmed that the motor was motoring, without any nasty fusy badness. Left it switched on with the lights running for a few hours to check that nothing got overly hot. Recharged the battery, confirming that works as it should.
Tomorrow the road...
