BAR HANDLE VEHICLE BRAKE DEVICE

A brake device (U1) is provided with a hydraulic brake system (K1) which causes a front wheel side wheel brake (F) to generate a braking force, and a mechanical brake system (K2) which directly operates a rear wheel side wheel brake (R) to generate a braking force. The brake device is also provided with a detecting means (31) for detecting the braking force of the rear wheel side wheel brake (R), and a control device (7). The control device (7) operates a pump (6) in accordance with the detection result from the detecting means (31). With this configuration, manufacturing costs can be suppressed and a reduction in size can be achieved.
