    Abstract: An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member, an operating member, and an assist operating interface. The base member includes a coupling end, a free end, and a grip portion. The coupling end is configured to be coupled to a handlebar. The free end is opposite to the coupling end. The grip portion is provided between the coupling end and the free end. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a pivot axis. The assist operating interface is configured to receive a first user input indicating that an assist driving unit generates a temporary assist driving force for a limited period corresponding to an operation of the first user input.

    Abstract: A bicycle operating device comprises a base member, an operating member, a wireless communicator, and a power supply. The base member includes a first end to be mounted to a bicycle handlebar and a second end opposite to the first end. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis. The electrical switch is to be activated by an input operation from a user. The wireless communicator is electrically connected to the electrical switch to wirelessly transmit a signal to an additional component in response to the input operation. The power supply is electrically connected to the wireless communicator to supply electrical power to the wireless communicator. The wireless communicator and the power supply are at least partially overlap with each other when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first pivot axis.

    Abstract: A bicycle hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub body, a sprocket support structure, and a brake-rotor support structure. The sprocket support structure includes a first torque-transmitting profile and a first externally-threaded portion. The first torque-transmitting profile is configured to transmit a rotational force between the sprocket support structure and a bicycle sprocket assembly. The first externally-threaded portion is configured to threadedly engage with a first internally-threaded portion of a first lock member. The brake-rotor support structure includes a radially external surface, a radially internal surface, and a second torque-transmitting profile configured to transmit a rotational force between the brake-rotor support structure and a brake rotor. The second torque-transmitting profile is provided on the radially external surface.

    Abstract: A bicycle operating device comprises a base member, a brake operating member, an additional operating member, an electrical switch, and a wireless communication unit. The brake operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The additional operating member is movably coupled to the brake operating member. The electrical switch is to provide an electric signal in response to a movement of the additional operating member. The electrical switch is disposed at the additional operating member. The wireless communication unit is connected to the electrical switch to transmit a wireless signal based on the electric signal. The wireless communication unit is disposed at one of the base member and the brake operating member.
