Abstract
A human-powered vehicle component includes a communicator and an electronic controller. The communicator is configured to receive a first signal transmitted from at least one transmitter that is separate from the component. The electronic controller is configured to control the communicator in accordance with a communicator control state. The communicator control state includes a first communicator control state, a second communicator control state in which power consumption of the communicator is greater than power consumption of the communicator in the first communicator control state, and a third communicator control state in which power consumption of the communicator is greater than the power consumption of the communicator in the second communicator control state. In a case where the communicator control state is the second communicator control state, the electronic controller is configured to switch the communicator control state to the third communicator control state in accordance with the first signal.
