  • The standard lights on my 2018 UA are a bit basic, any upgrade recommendations?

    It has a Bosche performance line motor and 400 battery if that helps. Do all these ebike lights have standard plugs? I'm familiar with dynamos but not ebike lights. Ta muchly

    Also, any idea what disc brake pads I need? It seems to be Deore brake levers, but i'm unsure of the callipers.

  • A dual core cable runs from dedicated ports in the motor (with proprietary plugs). You just buy your ebike lights at the correct voltage and should be able to do a straight swap using the existing wires. (Current lights might have the voltage written on them, if you can take your bike to a dealer they will be able to run a diagnostic and see what the voltage is set to, and can tell you if it can be adjusted)
    The method for plugging the wires in to different lights varies a little but it should be straightforward enough.

    I imagine it will be b01s if the callipers are deore / similar level shimano and haven’t been swapped out since new but send a pic or the model number to be sure

  • My UA has Shimano Sait Zee brakes. The pads that were originally fitted were Shimano HO3C which are metal sintered. They're usually £25 - £35 pair (ouch). The ceramic equivalent is HO3a which are cheaper but don't last as long. I recently found and alternative, sintered pair made by Vandorm at £18/pair. Only used for about 2 months but so far they seem same performance as Shimano Ho3C. Got them from bikeparts.co.uk but they don't seem to have them at the mo (wish I'd bought more than 2 sets)
