Abstract
A brake device for a human-powered vehicle includes an input body, a brake, and a power converter. A driving force is input to the input body. The brake is configured to contact a rotational body of the human-powered vehicle. The power converter is configured to convert a rotational force of the input body to a force that moves the brake toward the rotational body. The power converter includes a transmission configured to change a ratio of a movement amount of the brake to an output rotational speed of the input body.
