Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller configured to control an electric component of a human-powered vehicle including a crank and a drive wheel. The electronic controller is configured to control the electric component so as to change at least one of a first ratio of a rotational speed of the drive wheel to a rotational speed of the crank and a second ratio of a drive force assisting propulsion of the human-powered vehicle to the human drive force upon determining a human drive force input to the crank shifts from a first range to outside the first range. The electronic controller is configured to change the first range in accordance with at least one of a state of a rider and a running state of the human-powered vehicle.
