...it was unknown to me until I had a "brake crisis" in Germany, and had to have the hydraulics bled as an emergency.
"Someone has switched your brakes round......!". Mind you, it was a UK-bought German branded e-bike.
I've ridden hired bikes in various countries abroad in the dim and distant past, but they were all back-pedal rear brake, and that alone would have been enough variance and confusion for me not to really notice which side the single brake lever was for the front brake.
