Abstract
A control device for a human-powered vehicle includes an electronic controller configured to control a motor, which is configured to apply a propulsion force to the human-powered vehicle, so as to change a ratio of an assist force produced by the motor to a human driving force in accordance with the human driving force. The electronic controller controls the motor so that the assist force produced by the motor becomes smaller than a maximum value upon determining a torque of the human driving force is smaller than a first predetermined value, and controls the motor so that the assist force produced by the motor becomes equal to the maximum value upon determining the torque of the human driving force becomes equal to the first predetermined value, and the first predetermined value is a value in a range of 50 Nm or greater and 130 Nm or less.
