    Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller configured to control a motor to drive a transmission body with the motor and operate the transmission body with a derailleur to perform a shifting action that changes the transmission ratio in a case where a crank axle is stopped. The electronic controller includes a first control state in which the shifting action is performed and a second control state in which a driving force of the motor during the shifting action is reduced compared to the first control state. The electronic controller shifts the control state to the second control state in a case where a rider is riding the human-powered vehicle and the human-powered vehicle is stopped. The electronic controller shifts the control state from the second control state to the first control state in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied.

    Abstract: A human-powered vehicle includes a crank axle, a first rotational body, a wheel, a second rotational body, a transmission body that transmits a driving force between the first rotational body and the second rotational body, a derailleur configured to operate the transmission body to change a transmission ratio, and a motor configured to drive the transmission body. A control device has an electronic controller configured to control the motor and drive the transmission body with the motor upon determining the derailleur has been actuated to change the transmission ratio and a predetermined condition related to pedaling is satisfied, and control the motor to increase a rotational speed of the motor as a difference of a first rotational speed, which is calculated in correspondence with a rotational speed of the wheel and the transmission ratio, and a predetermined rotational speed or a rotational speed in a predetermined range increases.

    Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device is provided for a human-powered vehicle having a transmission device and a motor, which is configured to apply a propulsion force to the human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller configured to control a transmission device of a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to restrict a shifting action of the transmission device until a predetermined condition is satisfied in a case where one of a control states of the motor is switched to a further one of the control states of the motor.

    Abstract: A human-powered vehicle includes a crank axle, a first rotational body, a wheel, a second rotational body, a transmission body that transmits a driving force between the first rotational body and the second rotational body, a derailleur configured to operate the transmission body to change a transmission ratio, an electric actuator configured to actuate the derailleur, and a motor configured to drive the transmission body. A control device has an electronic controller configured to control the motor and drive the transmission body upon determining the derailleur has been actuated with the electric actuator to change the transmission ratio and a predetermined condition related to pedaling is satisfied. The electronic controller is configured to control the electric actuator so as not to change the transmission ratio until a first condition related to shifting is satisfied in a case where the derailleur is actuated.
