TSDZ2 throttle kit - but not fitting brake levers ?

[Bad Machine]

Does anyone have experience of this ? I plan to fit a Tongsheng CD throttle kit to a recumbent where the brakes are Magura Julie hydraulic disks on the rear, and Magura HS33 on the front wheel (it's a Hase Lepus delta trike). I want to fit the TSDZ2 throttle kit, but I am happy with the hydraulic braking, so don't want to change to cable brakes. Will the kit still work if I do not connect the two brake levers that are part of the kit ? In use, I don't think I'm likely to be using the throttle AND the braking at the same time, but should I consider a "kill" switch for the handlebars - for use as a cut-out if the motor should ever fail to stop ? (I'm thinking it may take me a while to modify the brake sensors for use with hydraulic levers).

yes, it's still work. The brake levers that come with the kit are just 2-pin on/off momentary switches.
You should still have at least a kill switch in case your throttle gets jammed.
Alternatively, fit something like this:

Thanks Woosh, that's good news. For the TSDZ2 controller, is the connection from the brake sensor normally, open, closed, or is it just a momentary pulse when levers are pulled ? And the hydraulic brake sensors you link to - I'm presuming I will need to splice them into the connectors for the VLCD5 (the TSDZ2 kit has rectangular connectors) ?
I'm thinking this through - it may be easiest for me to modify the existing TSDZ2 brake sensor and make it into a "kill switch" - so when operated it works like the brake levers do - to stop the motor ?

it's make when you brake.
it's a SPST momentary push button switch.

Something like this:

Universal kill stop Switch, can be used as horn switch too.

Connect the two pins to the two wires (ground and signal) on the brake connector.
