Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a human-powered vehicle component including at least one of a motor assisting in propulsion of a human-powered vehicle and a transmission changing a first ratio of a rotational speed of a drive wheel to a rotational speed of a crank of the human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller controls the human-powered vehicle component in a first control state and a second control state differing from the first control state. The electronic controller changes the first control state to the second control state upon determining a value related to a first change rate of an inclination angle of the human-powered vehicle is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value in the first control state. The inclination angle of the human-powered vehicle includes at least one of a yaw angle and a roll angle of the human-powered vehicle.

Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a transmission device to shift a ratio of a rotational speed of a wheel to a rotational speed of a crank axle. The controller controls the transmission device between first, second, and third control states. The controller controls the transmission device in the first control state for a predetermined period in a case where the human-powered vehicle starts to travel until a vehicle state becomes a predetermined state. The controller switches from the first to the second control state if the vehicle state becomes the predetermined state. The controller switches from the first to the third control state if a human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle becomes greater than a predetermined driving force during the predetermined period. Shifting of the ratio is more restricted in the first control state than the second and third control states.
