A braking system for indicating brake pad application that includes: a brake lever; a brake pad at the distal end of the brake lever; and a pressure detector connected to the brake lever, where the pressure detector detects pressure applied to the brake pad. A plurality of wire leads extends from the pressure detector and connected to the brake lever. The braking system includes a means to vary brake light illumination based upon pressure detected by the pressure detector providing three levels of illumination. A first brake illumination indicates a normal brake pressure application; a second brake illumination indicates a second level of brake pressure at a higher intensity than the normal brake pressure; and a third brake illumination indicates a third level of brake pressure at a highest intensity of brake pressure.
