Abstract: An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member and an operating member. The base member extends in a longitudinal direction. The base member includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and an accommodating structure. The first end portion is configured to be coupled to a handlebar. The second end portion is opposite to the first end portion in the longitudinal direction. The accommodating structure is provided to the second end portion. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a pivot axis. The accommodating structure is disposed at a location which is the farthest from the first end portion in the second end portion along the longitudinal direction as viewed along the pivot axis. The accommodating structure includes an accommodating part configured to accommodate at least one of a power supply and circuitry.

Abstract: An electric component for a human powered vehicle, comprises a transmitter, a receiver, at least one operating member, and a controller. The transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit wireless signals to an additional electric component. The receiver is configured to wirelessly receive an acknowledgement signal from the additional electric component. The controller is configured to control the transmitter to consecutively transmit one of the wireless signals as a first control signal in response to an operation of the at least one operating member until the receiver receives the acknowledgement signal. The controller is configured to control the transmitter to transmit another of the wireless signals as a second control signal when a first predetermined time period has passed since a time point from when the operation of the at least one operating member is started until when the transmitter starts transmitting the first control signal.
