Abstract: An actuator device for a rider-posture changing apparatus of a human-powered vehicle comprises a cam follower and a cam member. The cam member is rotatable about a rotational axis. At least one of the cam follower and the cam member includes a curved surface contactable with another of the cam follower and the cam member to move the cam follower in a movement direction in response to a rotation of the cam member. The movement direction is different from a circumferential direction defined about the rotational axis. The curved surface has a curved shape in a first cross-section perpendicular to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A hub for a human-powered vehicle is provided that comprises a hub axle, a hub body, an electric power generator, and a communication device. The hub body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle about a rotational axis. The electric power generator is provided between the hub axle and the hub body. The electric power generator is configured to generate electric power by relative rotation between hub axle and the hub body. The communication device is located at least partly outside of the hub body. The communication device includes a wireless communicator configured to wirelessly communicate with an additional wireless communicator.

Abstract: A control device is provided for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes an electronic controller. The human-powered vehicle includes a drive unit, a brake device, and a brake control device. The drive unit is provided with an electric motor that assists in propulsion of the human-powered vehicle. The brake device generates brake force. The brake control device controls the brake force with an electric actuator differing from the electric motor. The electronic controller is configured to control the electric motor in accordance with an actuation state of the brake control device.
