A telescopic apparatus comprises a first tube, a second tube configured to be telescopically coupled to the first tube, and an electric cable connector provided to one of the first tube and the second tube. The electric cable connector is configured to be detachably coupled to an electric cable.

Telescopic apparatus operating system and telescopic apparatus

A human-powered vehicle driving device includes a motor that assists in propulsion of a human-powered vehicle and a first electric switch including an operation member.

Human-powered vehicle driving device and battery holding device

A telescopic apparatus controller for a human-powered vehicle comprises a controller configured to control a telescopic apparatus in one of a plurality of operating modes. The plurality of operating modes includes a first operating mode in which a reference portion of the telescopic apparatus is selectively arranged to one of a first predetermined position and a second predetermined position, and a second operating mode in which the reference portion of the telescopic apparatus is arbitrarily arranged between a first end position and a second end position.

Telescopic apparatus controller, telescopic apparatus operating system, and telescopic apparatus

A telescopic apparatus comprises a first tube, a second tube, and a non-contact detector. The second tube is configured to be telescopically received in the first tube. The non-contact detector is provided inside at least one of the first tube and the second tube configured to detect a position of the second tube relative to the first tube.

Telescopic apparatus for human-powered vehicle, height adjustable seatpost, and bicycle component control system

An actuation controller for a rider posture changing device of a human-powered vehicle comprises a detector and a controller. The rider posture changing device includes a first member, a second member, and an electrical actuator configured to move the second member relative to the first member. The detector is configured to detect actuation information relating to an actuation state in which the electrical actuator moves the second member relative to the first member. The controller is configured to evaluate the actuation state in accordance with the actuation information detected by the detector.

Actuation controller and actuation system

A fishing reel forwardly releases a fishing line and includes a reel unit, a spool, a spool brake, an electric component, and a voltage booster circuit. The spool is rotatably supported by the reel unit. The spool brake generates an electric power upon a rotation of the spool, and applies a brake force to brake the spool using the electric power when the spool is rotated. The electric component operates using the electric power generated by the spool brake. The voltage booster circuit increases a voltage supplied to the electric component.
