Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device is provided for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a human-powered vehicle component in accordance with a control state including first and second modes. The electronic controller changes a transmission ratio of a transmission device in accordance with a first shifting condition in the first mode, and changes the transmission ratio in accordance with a second shifting condition in the second mode. The electronic controller changes the first shifting condition in accordance with a converging reference value, which is related to a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, for a case where the human-powered vehicle is in a riding converging state in the first mode, and changes the second shifting condition in accordance with a converging reference value for a case where the human-powered vehicle is in the riding converging state in the second mode.

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: 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.
