Alright we got our bikes and the Magura MT5e I ordered showed up today. The Magura has a red Higo connector which denotes two poles, with the fitting being male. I unwrapped the fitting on the Interceptor and opened the connector and learned why the brakes are not "drop in". The fitting from the...

Might want to check an Abus folding lock. Will probably also want a cable for your front tire and a smaller cable for your seat tho. They also have locks to replace the quick releases found on seat posts. One I am looking at is found at saveyourseat.com. Depends on the risk in your area and...

Ordered the bikes. I'll write about what I find out on my retrofitting hydraulic brake adventure.

Thanks for looking. Yeah I will just have to wait til I get the bikes and proceed from there it appears.

A regular interceptor and a boomerang plus. Can't get the mag wheels with the platinum and I really like the looks of them. Do those brakes have the higo connectors?

The Pedegos come with Avid BB7's. I haven't ordered the bikes yet. I wanted to get some hydraulic brakes ordered so I could install them when the bikes arrive. I have googled various ebike specific hydraulic brakes and am aware of most of the brands available. What I don't know is what kind of...

Not so worried about the brake side of things, it's hooking up the motor cut out that mostly concerns me. Are there different kinds of plugs? Are they standard? Sure I could hard wire it but would that void my warranty? Was just hoping someone had already done it and could tell me what works.

Just for fun I asked Pedego and this is their answer. Thank you for your interest in Pedego Electric Bikes! Unfortunately, we do not stock the hydraulic brakes to sell separate. We only keep enough on hand for warranty purposes. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask...

Thanks for the replies. Yes my main concern is with the superior modulation and lower maintenance of the hydraulic brakes. With the faster, heavier ebikes I don't want to skimp on the most important component. The brakes. You also get equal pad wear and auto adjustment of a sorts. Plus the cost...

Has anyone replaced the mechanical disc brakes on their Pedego with hydraulic ones? Which ones did you use? I've talked to a few dealers and they said there are none that will just drop in. Best they could do is a hydraulic brake that is cable actuated which will probably be fine but I was...

Plan on getting an Interceptor next spring and am wondering what size Salsa Lip Lock I will need for the seat post. I see the seat post size is 28.6 but I assume the lip lock needs to be larger to fit around the downtube.
