The invention relates to a handbrake type gear-shifting handle comprising a handle body, a ratchet wheel mechanism, a ratchet wheel mechanism chamber and a fixing frame. One end of the handle body is provided with the ratchet wheel mechanism chamber and connected with the fixing frame in a hinged mode, the ratchet wheel mechanism is arranged in the ratchet wheel mechanism chamber, and a ratchet wheel in the ratchet wheel mechanism is fixedly connected with the fixing frame. A ratchet is fixedly connected with the ratchet wheel mechanism chamber and engaged with the ratchet wheel, and the bottom end of the ratchet wheel mechanism chamber is connected with a gear-shifting line. When the handle body rotates, the gear-shifting line is driven to rotate together to achieve gear-shifting operation. The handbrake type gear-shifting handle only needs to be pulled at a time, and then the gear-shifting purpose can be achieved; operation is convenient, mounting is easy, gear slipping is not prone to occurring, and the stability of the handbrake type gear-shifting handle is improved; and the action amplitude of the handbrake type gear-shifting handle in gear shifting is small, and the space is not occupied.
