Abstract: A bicycle seatpost assembly comprises a first tube, a second tube, and a positioning structure to relatively position the first tube and the second tube. The positioning structure is mounted to at least one of the first tube and the second tube and is configured to change a state of the bicycle seatpost assembly among a first adjustable state in which the second tube is retracted or extended relative to the first tube at a first speed in response to a reference force applied to the second tube, and a second adjustable state in which the second tube is retracted or extended relative to the first tube at a second speed in response to the reference force applied to the second tube. The second speed is lower than the first speed.

Abstract: A bicycle seatpost assembly comprises a first cylinder, a second cylinder, a positioning structure, and a mechanical position informing structure. The second cylinder is configured to be telescopically received in the first cylinder. The positioning structure is configured to relatively position the first cylinder and the second cylinder such that a positional relationship between the first cylinder and the second cylinder is continuously adjustable within an adjustable position range of the bicycle seatpost assembly. The mechanical position informing structure is configured to inform a user that at least one of the first and second cylinders reaches a reference position. The reference position is defined between a maximum-length position and a minimum-length position of the adjustable position range.

Abstract: An actuator device for a rider-posture changing apparatus of a human-powered vehicle comprises a cam follower and a cam member. The cam member is rotatable about a rotational axis. At least one of the cam follower and the cam member includes a curved surface contactable with another of the cam follower and the cam member to move the cam follower in a movement direction in response to a rotation of the cam member. The movement direction is different from a circumferential direction defined about the rotational axis. The curved surface has a curved shape in a first cross-section perpendicular to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: An actuation controller for a rider posture changing device of a human-powered vehicle comprises a detector and a controller. The rider posture changing device includes a first member, a second member, and an electrical actuator configured to move the second member relative to the first member. The detector is configured to detect actuation information relating to an actuation state in which the electrical actuator moves the second member relative to the first member. The controller is configured to evaluate the actuation state in accordance with the actuation information detected by the detector.
