Yes - that is the same model Shimano MT200 (they are more expensive from ebay than Ali Express). You can either buy those and glue on separate motor cutoff / brake light cables with 2 pin connector or buy the XOD ones that @saneagle linked to in post #2. One of the options on that link was right/front left/rear brakes with the red 2 pin cables

Those ones don't have switches in. We don't know how your bike goes without brake switches. You need switches if your motor runs on for a bit after you stop pedalling.

These ones (the last option on the right) have switches in them and the same connectors as your present ones. The brake levers and calipers will fit your bike the same as what you have. The only thing we don't know is whether the hoses are the right length. They will fit normal bikes, but we have no idea what your one is like, so there's always a possibility that the hoses could be too short. They say 800mm for the front and 1500mm for the rear. You'd have to measure to check whether they're OK'

Ok thanks saneagle, so its £37.31 for front and back, they do say sm/2 pin plug, but mine are 2 pin red Juliet type not SM, but i suppose it means they also have SM ones. ok I won't order yet until I measure the length of cable for front and also back I will bookmark that page for later when i order so am I right then its still disc brakes but instead of a wire cable it will be a piston what closes brakes. do you have to fill with oil at 1st or will that come with brakes.

Both my left and right brake levers cables for back light are plugged into the front of bike female connecters £37.31 is much cheaper than £44 ones on ebay

I would get the longest hoses they do, I think 1000mm front, 1750mm rear, so that if you do fit North Road handlebars you will have plenty of wriggle room. If you find them a bit too long, they are a doddle to cut shorter or just leave them a bit longer than needed.

The brakes come pre-filled with oil, you don't have to do anything except bolt them on.

Don't forget with vat the brakes will be a little over £40.
From that link select the second box for the Red two pin set.

There is also another option , keep your existing e-brake levers and cables and just replace the cable brake caliper with cable actuated hydraulic calipers.
And one can buy them in pretty colours as well.

I wouldn't try mixing and matching. Plus those brakes have a terrible reputation.
