A brake power measuring device (100) for use with a vehicle having a braking system. The device has a housing attachable to, or attached to, a brake disc, or to a frame near a brake caliper of the braking system. The housing houses one or more force sensing elements (220) for measuring a force experienced by the brake disc or frame during braking. A control unit (230) is configured to receive the measured force, calculate power losses as a result of braking, based on the measured force and data representing angular velocity, and produce the power loss calculations as output data
