Hardwiring Lights on a Como 2.0

[Ned]

My Specialized Como 2.0 did not come with hardwired lights. I've had to use battery powered lights. Has anybody tried to add hardwired lights to a Como 2.0? the 3.0 has hardwired lights, so it may not be too difficult to do. Thank you. Ned

Find out if the controller has a spare lead for lights or just a 5-volt output wire not being used,I have used one of these "spare" leads" to power a light and Horn.( watch out how you stick a voltmeter lead in different ports, you can short something out and even an unpowered controller has some juice left in its capacitors)

I did and love it! Made the mod to both mine and my wife’s. You need to be a bit mechanically inclined but it’s not horrible. I used this video to learn how to do it:

You will need these adapters which connect to the motor. https://www.lupinenorthamerica.com/Light_cable_for_Lupine_SL_Brose_S_motors.asp
Here are the lights we went with: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CZ39Q6R/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_94G2PZK6PNFTPF4B4YDK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
And we installed the rear rack that has the light built into it.

That gets them going, thanks ST.,

The 1.2 motor you have had provisions for lights on the side of the motor. There's several light kits for your bike. PDW makes the Kepler series lights, front and rear. Light n Motion makes the Nip n Tuck lights that come front and rear. Lezyne also has several to choose from that include a slick stem mount system. Installing the lights involves access to the motor and potentially dropping the motor to run the light cables. Also Racktime makes rear racks that include integrated rear lights too, could be a nice way to get some storage too.
