Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a motor. The motor assists in propulsion of a human-powered vehicle including a transmission configured to change, in steps, a first ratio of a rotational speed of a drive wheel to a rotational speed of a rotary body to which human drive force is input. The controller controls the motor in a first control state if the first ratio is changed by only one step during a predetermined period or a signal is received for changing the first ratio by one step during the predetermined period. The controller controls the motor in a second control state that differs from the first control state if the first ratio is changed by at least two steps during the predetermined period or a signal is received for changing the first ratio by at least two steps during the predetermined period.

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.

Abstract: A bicycle drive unit is basically provided with an assist motor and a housing such that the distance between a crankshaft and a rear end of the housing is prevented from becoming long. The assist motor is configured to apply an assisting force to a manual drive force, which is inputted from a crankshaft. The housing is provided to the assist motor and at least a part of the crankshaft. The housing is disposed around the crankshaft. The housing is formed so that, when the bicycle drive unit is attached to a bicycle frame, the minimum distance from a center axis of the crankshaft and the rear end surface of the frame on the rear end side of the housing is equal to or less than 50 mm and greater than the radius of the crankshaft, as viewed from parallel to the center axis of the crankshaft.
