Abstract: A bicycle electric component comprises a wireless communicator and a detector. The wireless communicator is configured to receive a wireless signal. The wireless communicator has a first operating mode and a second operating mode. A power consumption of the second operating mode is lower than a power consumption of the first operating mode. The detector is to detect an operational state of a bicycle. The wireless communicator is configured to change from the second operating mode to the first operating mode in a state where the wireless communicator receives the wireless signal and the detector detects the operational state of the bicycle.
