A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that changes a control state of an assist motor in accordance with an operation of an operating device. The control state includes a first control state, a second control state where the motor is driven in correspondence with a human driving force input, and a third control state where the motor is driven in correspondence with the human driving force input. In a case where the operating device is operated in accordance with a first operation procedure in the first control state, the electronic controller changes from the first control state to the second control state. In a case where the operating device is operated in accordance with a second operation procedure in the first control state, the electronic controller changes from the first control state to the third control state.

Human-powered vehicle control device

A determination device is for a human-powered vehicle. The determination device includes a processor that is configured to obtain information related to a rotational speed of an input rotational shaft of the human-powered vehicle and information related to a rotational speed of a wheel of the human-powered vehicle to determine a predetermined state in accordance with a varied amount of the rotational speed of the input rotational shaft and a varied amount of the rotational speed of the wheel in a state in which a human driving force that is applied to the human-powered vehicle is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value.

Human-powered vehicle determination device and human-powered vehicle control device

A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a motor assisting in propulsion of a human-powered vehicle including a crank. The controller changes an assist force ratio generated by the motor to human drive force input to the crank accordingly to the human drive force and a crank rotational speed. The controller increases the ratio as the human drive force increases while the crank rotational speed is constant and the human drive force is in a first range. The controller controls the motor so that the ratio is larger for a case where the human drive force is a first predetermined value in a first range and the crank rotational speed is in a second range than for a case where the human drive force is the first predetermined value and the crank rotational speed is in a third range higher than the second range.

A controlling device includes a storage device configured to store predetermined information about durability of a component of a man-powered vehicle, and a controller configured to control an indicator based on the predetermined information.

Controlling device, indicating system, and controlling method

A human-powered vehicle control device includes a controller that controls a motor assisting propulsion of a human-powered vehicle. The controller controls the motor in a first control state in which an assist force produced by the motor becomes less than or equal to a first predetermined value in a case in which an inclination angle related to the human-powered vehicle is greater than or equal to a first predetermined angle and a request for operating a transmission provided on the human-powered vehicle is received.

A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller configured to control a motor that assists in propulsion of a human-powered vehicle in accordance with a human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to switch at least five control states imparting different output characteristics to the motor with respect to the human driving force.
