Hello
I would like to convert a bike with hydraulic disk brake. I guess the brake lever from GM do not work for hydraulic ones. Does anyone know if it is just possible to integrate the switch which cuts off the power supplay in the hydraulic brake levers of the original bike? The bike I would like to convert is the following:

G'day,
I have hydraulic brakes on my bike, but you cant use the normal break levers that come with e-bike kits. As it is a safety thing to have a motor cutoff incase the throttle jams on what I did was to connect up the break cutoff line onto a switch right next to the throttle so that I can quickly push it incase something goes wrong.
Its also good as it can be always on so that for instance when I'm walking the bike between alot of people, there is no chance I could grab the throttle wrong and have the bike lurch forward suddenly.
