[slowman]

Anyone got one of these or know anything about them?https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9426070?clickOrigin=searchbar:myaccount:sku:9426070
I got one cheapish and its quite good but would like imore nfo especially on spares and brake pads

All the non-electric spares such as pads should be pretty standard.

I expect the electric parts are probably fairly generic; you may not be able to change like for like but should fairly easily find parts to keep it going if you have issues.

The biggest worry might be the battery. Integrated batteries are sometimes fairly specific to the bike, and a replacement may well be hard to come by in a few years.

these are the pads i'm no expert but they only move one side and also not split pin attachment

Pads are tektro/ clarks auriga or aquila range, one can get them on ebay or halfords. Opt for resin or organic compound for better braking.

My experience is that Semi metallics are both more effective and have a longer life than resin/organics. I would be interested in other's views.

 

[Nealh]

Cheap brake rotors often are resin /organic only so metallic types give poor braking, if the rotor is marked as resin then stick to resin.

 

[jokskot]

Absolutely agree if marked as resin stick to resin, but given a choice.....

Only moving one side is common with mechanical (cable operated) disk brakes.
I have the same/similar, and if correctly adjusted, depending on how often you ride/use the brakes, they will give you better than any previous system, braking power.
If you are unsure, look on YouTube for adjustment tips.
If you do not keep them working correctly, you may eventually deform your Disk(s), though this has never happened to me, but quite a few here complain about disk damage.
New disks on ebay are relatively cheap and qite easy to swap out....
Best of luck
