Abstract: An electric device of a human-powered vehicle comprises a communicator and an electronic controller. The communicator is configured to communicate with an additional communicator in accordance with a communication mode. The electronic controller is configured to execute a first control to change the communication mode in a case where a first condition that an output of an output unit is greater than or equal to a first threshold is met. The electronic controller is configured to execute a second control different from the first control in a case where a second condition that the output of the output unit is greater than or equal to a second threshold is met, the second threshold being different from the first threshold.

Abstract: A bicycle component is basically provided with a communicator and a controller. The communicator is configured to wirelessly receive a pairing trigger signal generated in response to a user trigger input of a trigger input device, and to wirelessly receive a first pairing demand signal generated in response to a first user input of a first input device. The controller is configured to cause the bicycle component to enter a pairing mode in response to the pairing trigger signal being received by the communicator. The controller is configured to establish wireless communication between the bicycle component and a first remote component that sent the first pairing demand signal in a state where the bicycle component is in the pairing mode.

Abstract: An electrical device for a system of a human-powered vehicle comprises a controller. The controller is configured to selectively act, based on reference information relating to the system, as each of a master controller and a slave controller. The master controller is configured to transmit a first control signal to a different slave controller of a different electrical device of the system. The different slave controller is configured to be operated in response to the first control signal. The slave controller is configured to be operated in response to a second control signal transmitted from a different master controller of a different electrical device of the system.
