Abstract: A control device for a human-powered vehicle has an electronic controller that controls a motor that applies a propulsion force to the human-powered vehicle to assist a human driving force. The human-powered vehicle includes a transmission device. The electronic controller is configured to assist in propulsion of the human-powered vehicle with the motor in a state in which the human-powered vehicle is propelled by the human driving force. In a case where a transmission ratio of the transmission device is changed, the electronic controller decreases an assist level of the motor in accordance with the human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle, and controls the motor so that the assist level is greater for a case where the human driving force is a first human driving force than the assist level for a case where the human driving force is less than the first human driving force.
