What is this hardware inline with the brake cable?

Bicycles Asked on December 31, 2020

The brake caliper is an Avid BB7_MTN, but there seems to be some kind of additional element inline with the brake cable. From what I can gather looking at the picture, there’s an electric cable coming off.

Does anyone know what it is?

My WAG (wild-ass-guess) is that it’s some kind of force booster. That would be logical because, judging by the wheel, tire, and frame, this is a heavy bike.

One Answer

Most ebikes have a brake switch that cuts off the power when the brakes are applied. I would guess this is a switch for the same purpose. Or, it could be triggering a brake light.
