Abstract: There is described a device for adjusting a tilt of a bicycle seat. An angle of a seat coupling relative to a seat post coupling is determined. An angle of the seat post coupling relative to a reference position, such as a horizon, is determined. For example, the angle of the seat post coupling relative to the reference position may be determined based on a current geographic position of the bicycle. Based on the determined angles, the tilt of the bicycle seat is adjusted by actuating a seat tilt driver, such as a motor.

Abstract: Sensor modules mountable on a wheel are described with methods of use. A sensor module for a wheel includes a base module mountable to a rim. The sensor module further includes a first set of piezoelectric sensors coupled to the base module at a first side and a second set of piezoelectric sensors coupled to the base module at a second side. A method includes receiving a first force from a tire on a piezoelectric sensor mounted on a rim, the force resulting from an inflation of the tire and causing a first strain on the sensor. The method further includes receiving a second force on the sensor corresponding to a deformation of the tire due to surface contact, where the second force causes a second strain. The method also includes generating wheel data from electrical signals produced by the sensor; and transmitting the wheel data to a remote device.

Abstract: A control device is provided for a human-powered vehicle that includes a suspension and an operation detector detecting a first parameter correlated to a predetermined operation performed by a rider on the human-powered vehicle. The operation detector includes an acceleration sensor provided on at least one of a wheel axle of the human-powered vehicle and a portion of the human-powered vehicle closer to the wheel axle than a moving portion of the suspension. The first parameter includes acceleration in a fore-aft direction of the human-powered vehicle. The control device includes an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to determine the predetermined operation based on the acceleration in the fore-aft direction. The predetermined operation includes at least one of a first operation in which the rider pushes a handlebar of the human-powered vehicle and a second operation in which the rider pulls the handlebar.
