I don't know if ribbon cable will suffice. At the circuit board maybe, but it's usually pretty thin and may not pass the current for the motor, plus the ends will have to be pulled apart quite a bit to run to the motor, battery and ground.

Light gauge single strand hook-up wire would do, similar to the original wiring. Heavier gauge wiring might rip the small solder pads from the circuit board.
