Most of the electric conversion kits I've seen seem to include a new set of brake levers with a motor cut-off switch. I have a road bike with combination shift/brake levers (the brake lever *is* the shift lever). What are my options for using a motor cut-off switch with these type of brakes? Is it possible to pull the electrical components off the kit brakes and attach them to the road bike brakes? Other solutions?
