Magura MT5e switch modification

Bafangs work with NC (normally closed) switch, if you got a NO(Normally open), you can try this to change it to NC. Worked fine 2 times for me ^^
Sorry about the shitty accent and poor editing, just wanted to share something useful, not make a blockbuster ^^

Modify the connector to connect to bafang : • Magura MT5e Hydraulic ...
If the switch doesn't feel as "clicky" as before, the blue and black wires running around the switch are probably not well positioned. So reopen the brake lever and reposition them.

Thanks, Charles, for the tips. I bought a Magura MT5 NC to connect with a Bafang M620. From your description, it should have worked fine however I needed to reverse the switch as you did ☺. Works fine

Hi people. It will save you some trouble if you order the right brake to begin with. There are two versions. NO and NC. Normally open, or normally closed. I’m ordering NO for my Bafang BBSHD. And I guess that makes sense...Like if you don’t use the brake cut off’s, the circuit is open. And if I’m wrong, I’ve got this video to fix it. 😅

can u install this mt5e stop break lever with switch onto the mt7 pro?

[@bencoelho3]

Is that hot glue or silicon (can I melt it with a heat gun)?

[@ianchilds2479]

my magura brake is the open type and doesn't work on my ebike. You have to pull the brake lever to start the motor which is the wrong way round. If I use a closed type would this solve my issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@RomeoMihalcea]

Does that switch activate immediately when pressing the brake or it has a bit of tolerance to it? I prefer a bit of tolerance for light braking and motor cutoff when braking more strongly.

Nice tutorial. Would a replacement MT5e lever fit and function properly in a MT5 housing/master cylinder unit?

[@June4600]

I just ordered the magura mt5e brakes and wanted to know will it work right out the box with the bafang BBSHD motor or will I need to do this modification ?

What was wrong with the layout of switch from the factory?
