Abstract: A charging device basically includes a first power source, first and second device-side connection terminals, a first resistance, a detection unit and a device-side controller. The first resistance is connected between the first power source and the first device-side connection terminal. The detection unit detects an inter-terminal voltage between the first device-side connection terminal and the second device-side connection terminal. A vehicle-side controller is connected between a first vehicle-side connection terminal connected to the first device-side connection terminal and a second vehicle-side connection terminal connected to the second device-side connection terminal. The device-side controller determines that the charging-device-side charging connector and the vehicle-side charging connector are turned into a non-connected state from a connected state by a fact that the inter-terminal voltage detected by the detection unit becomes greater than a predetermined voltage.

Abstract: A wireless receiving device for a human powered vehicle comprises a receiver having a first mode, and a second mode in which the receiver consumes less electric power than in the first mode. A controller is configured to set the receiver with the second mode if the receiver does not receive the communication signal in a first-mode period during which the receiver operates in the first mode. The controller is configured to count a consecutive number of a plurality of no-communication periods if no-communication periods consecutively occur. The controller is configured to set the receiver with the first mode if the consecutive number of the no-communication periods is less than a count threshold. The controller is configured to control the receiver to continue the second mode until a release condition is satisfied if the consecutive number is more than or equal to the count threshold.

Abstract: A brake control device includes an electronic controller that executes an ABS control on a rotating body of a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller executes the ABS control based on a relationship between a first speed and a second speed related to the human-powered vehicle. The first speed includes a speed of the human-powered vehicle based on information of a traveling environment. The second speed includes a speed of the human-powered vehicle based on a rotational speed of the rotating body.

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.
