New description: [New technical field] The new type relates to brake handles, especially for brake handles for electric bicycles. The handles of the brakes can be mounted on the handlebars of electric bicycles driven by motors. . [Prior Art] The brake handle of the bicycle of φ is connected to the brake device by a connecting member such as a cable, a connecting rod, and a hydraulic pipe, and is used to brake the brake device. The brake handle generally includes a mounting bracket attached to the handlebar and a handle member swingably mounted to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket ‘ has a mounting portion attached to the handlebar and a bracket portion coupled to the mounting portion. The mounting portion, for example, can be clamped to the handlebar to form a cylindrical shape. The handle member is rotatably attached to the bracket portion. In such a brake handle, a conventional configuration is provided in which a plurality of operation switches are provided in the mounting portion of the handlebar (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). The conventional brake handle is provided with an operation switch for shifting the shifting device to the mounting portion of the brake handle. A display portion for displaying an operation result, a vehicle speed, or the like is provided in the bracket portion. Therefore, the operation switch is disposed at a position close to the thumb of the hand for operating the handle member, so that frequent shifting operations are easily performed. [Prior Art Document] [Patent Document] [Patent Document 1] -3- M419723 曰本licon No. 3 487840 [New Content] [New problem to be solved] The above-described conventional structure is attached to a handlebar The mounting portion is configured with a plurality of switches. Therefore, it is easy to operate the operation switch with a finger. However, the mounting portion is usually formed in a cylindrical shape, so if a plurality of operation switches are arranged, the size of the one-to-one operation switches becomes small and may be difficult to operate. In particular, in the case of electric self-driving such as a power-assisted bicycle used by a general person, it is difficult to perform a driving force assisting operation when the operation switch is too small. The problem of the present invention is to facilitate the operation: an operation switch for assisting operation of the driving force disposed in the brake handle of the electric assist bicycle. [Means for Solving the Problem] The first new type of brake handle for an electric bicycle is a brake handle for an electric bicycle that is assisted by a motor. The brake handle has: a mounting bracket, a handle member, and an operation switch. The mounting bracket has a mounting portion that can be attached to a handlebar of a bicycle, and a bracket portion that is coupled to the mounting portion. The handle member is swingably mounted to the bracket portion. A plurality of operation switches, which are disposed in the bracket portion, are switches for driving force assist operation. The brake handle is not a mounting portion that is generally formed into a tubular shape toward the handlebar, and a plurality of operation switches for operating the electric bicycle are disposed in the bracket portion. Therefore, when the arrangement area is larger than that of the mounting portion, a plurality of large operation switches can be arranged. Here, the plurality of -4- M419723 operation switches for driving force assist operation are disposed in the bracket portion instead of the mounting portion, thereby increasing the size of the plurality of operation switches. Therefore, it is easy to operate: the operation switch for assisting the operation of the driving force disposed in the brake handle of the electric bicycle. A brake handle for an electric bicycle according to a second aspect of the invention is the handle of the first aspect, wherein the bracket portion has a mounting plane that intersects with the swing axis of the handle member, and the plurality of operation switches are push button switches disposed on the mounting plane. In this case, since the mounting plane is disposed to intersect the swing axis, it is easy to operate the push button switch with the index finger or the middle finger of the hand holding the handle member. In the third type of brake handle for an electric bicycle, the handle of the first or second type is described, and the plurality of operation switches are switches for driving the auxiliary mode of the electric bicycle. In this case, since the driving force assist mode can be switched with a plurality of operation switches, the driving force assist mode can be easily switched. [New Effect] According to the present invention, by arranging a plurality of operation switches in the bracket portion instead of being disposed in the mounting portion, the size of the plurality of operation switches can be increased. Therefore, it is easy to operate: an operation switch for assisting the driving force arrangement in the brake handle of the electric bicycle. [Embodiment] In the first embodiment, the bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention is assisted by the motor 10 The drive of the electric assisted bicycle. The bicycle is provided with a frame 101 M419723 having a double-ring type frame body 102 and a front fork 103, a handle portion 104, a driving portion 105, a front wheel 106f, a rear wheel 10r, a front brake device 108f, and a rear brake.
