The mounting portion has a contact surface dimensioned and arranged to contact an axial outer face of a nut member of the generator hub. The mounting portion is electrically connectable to the nut member and easily mounted on a hub axle supporting the generator hub. The contact terminal is formed integrally with the mounting portion and provides a simple means for completing an electrical circuit without modification to a bicycle frame or the generator hub.
