Abstract: A shifting device includes a transmission device, a first controller and a first communicator. The transmission device is configured to shift a transmission ratio of a human-powered vehicle. The first controller is configured to control the transmission device. The first communicator is configured to perform communication with a drive unit for a human-powered vehicle. The drive unit includes a motor configured to apply a propulsion force to the human-powered vehicle. In a case where the first controller shifts the transmission ratio. The first controller is configured to control the first communicator so that the first communicator sends first information to the drive unit in a case where the first controller shifts the transmission ratio. The first information includes at least one of information related to a shifting time of the transmission ratio and information related to a shifting period of the transmission ratio.

Abstract: A rear derailleur is basically provided with a base member, a movable member, a chain guide, a friction element, a one-way clutch and an electric actuator. The base member is configured to be mounted to a bicycle. The movable member is movably coupled to the base member. The chain guide is coupled to the movable member to rotate around a rotational axis with respect to the movable member. The friction element is operatively arranged between the movable member and the chain guide to frictionally provide rotational resistance in a first rotational direction of the chain guide. The one-way clutch is operatively disposed between movable member and the chain guide to engage the friction element as the chain guide rotates in the first rotational direction. The electric actuator is operatively coupled to the one-way clutch to control the one-way clutch between a clutch-on mode and a clutch-off mode.
