    Abstract: A brake system includes a driving part driven by electric power to brake a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle and an electronic controller configured to control the driving part. The electronic controller has a plurality of control modes including a first mode that drives the driving part in accordance with a user operation and a second mode that does not drive the driving part regardless of the user operation. The electronic controller is configured to switch the plurality of control modes based on setting information related to an input to the human-powered vehicle.

    Abstract: A hydraulic operating device for a small vehicle including a bicycle comprises a base member, a mounting structure, an operating member, and a piston. The base member includes a cylinder bore having a cylinder axis. The mounting structure defines a mounting axis linearly extending along the handlebar in a mounting state where the base member is mounted on a handlebar with the mounting structure. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis between a rest position and an operated position. The cylinder axis is non-perpendicular to the mounting axis as viewed along the first pivot axis in the mounting state. The piston is movably provided in the cylinder bore. The piston is coupled to the operating member to be pulled in response to a pivotal movement of the operating member from the rest position to the operated position.

    Abstract: A bicycle control device is basically provided with a base member, a first operating member, an electric unit and a hydraulic unit. The base member is configured to be fixed to a bicycle part. The first operating member is coupled to the base member. The first operating member is configured to move along a first path from a rest position to a first position as a first movement. The first operating member is configured to move along the first path from the rest position to a second position via the first position as a second movement. The electric unit is configured to output a first signal causing a first operation of an electric device in response to the first movement. The electric unit is configured to output a second signal causing a second operation of the electric device in response to the second movement. The hydraulic unit is coupled to the base member to operate a hydraulic device.

    Abstract: A bicycle operating device comprises a base member, a brake operating member, an additional operating member, an electrical switch, and a wireless communication unit. The brake operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The additional operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The electrical switch is to provide an electric signal in response to a movement of the additional operating member. The electrical switch is disposed at the brake operating member. The wireless communication unit is connected to the electrical switch to transmit a wireless signal based on the electric signal.

    Abstract: A bicycle hydraulic operating device is basically provided with a base member, a piston, an operating member and a hydraulic reservoir. The base member includes a cylinder bore. The piston is movably disposed in the cylinder bore. The operating member coupled to the piston to move the piston within the cylinder bore. The hydraulic reservoir includes a hydraulic reservoir tank and a reservoir lid. The hydraulic reservoir tank is fluidly connected to the cylinder bore. The reservoir lid closes a tank opening of the hydraulic reservoir tank. The tank opening defines an opening cross sectional area. The hydraulic reservoir tank defines a tank cross sectional area parallel to the opening cross sectional area. The opening cross sectional area of the tank opening is smaller than the tank cross sectional area of the hydraulic reservoir tank.

    Abstract: A bicycle operating device comprises a base member, an operating member, a hydraulic unit, an electrical switch, a wireless communicator, and a power supply. The base member includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis. At least part of the hydraulic unit is disposed closer to the second end than the first pivot axis when viewed from a first direction parallel to the first pivot axis. The power supply is electrically connected to the wireless communicator to supply electrical power to the wireless communicator. At least one of the wireless communicator and the power supply is at least partly disposed closer to the first end than the first pivot axis when viewed from the first direction.
