Universal Ebike Brake Switch Mount for Hydraulic Brake Levers

thingiverse

The first adjustable silicon glue/zip tie mountable brake switch holder for kw12 micro switches has been released. It's available to purchase here: https://www.ebay.de/itm/183765013263. I've personally tested it on a Shimano and a Zoom brake lever, but I'd love to hear from you if it fits on other models as well - please share your experiences in the comments! On e-bikes, cutting off motor power when applying the brakes is highly advisable. This safety feature becomes crucial when the throttle signal fails, potentially saving both brakes and battery life. While a dedicated brake input is usually available, shortening the throttle signal to ground via the brake switch(es) can be a viable solution. This versatile switch holder isn't limited to braking functions alone - it can also power up a brake light or initiate regenerative energy recovery braking if supported by your hardware! As with any DIY project, you assume all responsibility for its use.
