Hello!
friends,
In my city there is no service for bikes specialized.
I would like to repare system rear light braking. Integrated into the brake switch.
It is present but only part of the system.( Rear light with cable.)
what part number do i need i would order on ebay or maybe someone has the diagrams.
there should also be a splitter, and one cable for each Bakbroms TRP

If you disassemble the existing brake lever, you will discover a little electronic/electrical part inside. It is a sensor that converts the mineral oil pressure (or oil movement) to an electrical switch. If you show that part to an electronic specialist, he will tell you what it is, and can help you obtaining the replacement.

Otherwise, only Specialized can get a TRP Zurich brake lever as these brakes are only made for manufacturers and are not available in the aftermarket. If you can contact a Specialized store, tell them the serial number of your e-bike (it starts with WSBC) and they will look up available parts. It might be necessary to replace the whole brake assembly.

I was in a similar situation. I replaced the rear brake assembly with a TRP Slate. This brake has no STOP capability. Currently, the STOP light is only activated by the left original brake lever but not by the right one (replaced).

@Base, FGandry is from Denmark. Ideas? Could he replace the whole rear brake assembly with, e.g., a Magura brake with the STOP indicator sensor? What brakes are used on Bosch Performance Speed S-Pedelecs? @Fgandry has an e-bike with Specialized 1.2s motor (Brose TF), which is conceptually similar to Bosch Speed motor. The original brakes are TRP Zurich (Post Mount).
 
Magura operates with a reed switch, Tektro/TRP with a pressure switch. There are replacement switches available with different cable outlets. These sets do not come with the spring, nut and counter bolt.

Has this bike ever had these brake sensors in the "levers"?
If not, 2 Replacement lever assemblies with these switches already installed would be the easiest way to get this functionality

Guys, I looked under the battery and there are unused cables there. What part do you think I need to find?

I found this on Aliexpress. Maybe it will work
