PURPOSE: A brake apparatus is provided to prevent deterioration of manipulation quality for a brake pedal. CONSTITUTION: A brake apparatus comprises a regenerative brake unit (8), a hydraulic generating unit, and a pump mechanism. The regenerative brake unit provides a regenerative braking force to a wheel by using the rotation of a wheel which is provided on a vehicle to generate power according to the stepped position of a brake pedal. The hydraulic generating unit supplies a working fluid to wheel cylinders (Ba,Bb,Bc,Bd) when more than a fixed part of the brake pedal is stepped. The pump mechanism sends the working fluid in the hydraulic generating unit to a wheel cylinder by using the pump mechanism.
