We got this bike for my nephew, but this piece of plastic between the shifter and the brake puts the brake so far away that even i as an adult can only reach it with one finger

The piece seems to be connected to the shifter.

    Looks like you may be able to pop the brake handle off with an Alan key and move it to be above the plastic thing? Not sure the plastic is too thick to operate the brake though if it were above it.

      I know those shifters usually have enough space for the brake lever to slide under it but this one in particular looks weird, as it is meant to be used with coaster brakes or something… But i will try to remove it this week.

      PS. Thanks :)
