Looks like a very fancy (with bottle opener??) plug in lever for an axle.

Nice answer, but in layman's terms please as I'm a newbie, does it have a specific function?

I think the early pedal assisted bikes had a clockwork system instead of batteries and you had to wind them up with a key.
I wonder if they have thought of retro-fitting this system to Levos. They might last longer.
Since it was provided with your bike I assume it fits either the front wheel thru axle or rear wheel thru axle and is used just like an allen key to undo/remove one or both of those thru axles in order to remove the wheel. It can be left plugged into the thru axle without falling out. Yours also has a bottle opener for whatever reason!!

It's a bottle opener. "There are two Switch Lever shapes, and both come with various options. The slotted versions are milled to reduce weight. If you prefer added functionality, you can choose from a bottle opener or valve core remover".Yeah, I don't think it's a bottle opener. Could it be for holding the chain?

I see,it must hook round something to stop it falling out.
