A system for selectively consuming and storing electrical energy in a hybrid vehicle. The shift control device is attachable to the handlebar of a bicycle for controlling the piston of a hydraulic shift mechanism and includes a bracket attachable to the handlebar, a pivot shaft, a rotating member, and a control lever. The transformed light beams mix in a pre-determined manner to produce an illumination pattern with desired intensity distribution. The conductor may be a metal plate. The program is then created based on the obtained subprogram or subprograms. A reinforcement layer may be permanently coupled to at least the upper wall, the first and second connecting segments, and the first and second side walls, and preferably has a heat conductivity of less than about 50 W.
