Abstract: A shifting system for a human-powered vehicle comprises a controller. The controller is configured to receive a driving torque and a cadence of the human-powered vehicle from at least one sensor. The controller is configured to determine a permitted shift timing based on the driving torque and the cadence. The controller is further configured to control a shift mechanism to perform a gear shift during the permitted shift timing in accordance with a permitted cadence range and a first threshold of the driving torque.

Abstract: A shifting and gear assembly for a transmission (102) has: a hollow shaft; first and second gears (244A, 244B) on the hollow shaft, the hollow shaft defining first and second apertures (434) in axial alignment with the first and second gears; first and second shift pawls (430) disposed in the first and second apertures (434); a cam (416) disposed in the hollow shaft; and a shift actuator operatively connected to the cam (416, 512) for selectively translating the cam (416). In response to the cam (416) being axially aligned with the first shift pawl (430), the cam (416) displacing the first shift pawl (430) radially outward to engage the first gear (244A) to rotationally fix the first gear (244A) to the hollow shaft. In response to the cam (416) being axially aligned with the second shift pawl (430), the cam (416) displacing the second shift pawl (430) radially outward to engage the second gear (244B) to rotationally fix the second gear (244B) to the hollow shaft.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a control device (60A, 60B) for a bicycle (1000), comprising a support body (2) for being fixed to a handlebar (33) of the bicycle (1000), a lever (3) movably arranged relative to the support body (2), and a sensing device arranged to transmit a signal upon actuation thereof. The lever (3) is movable relative to the support body (2) from a neutral position to a braking position for initiating a braking action, and from the neutral position to a first actuation position in which the lever (3) actuates the sensing device. The lever (3) is movable from the neutral position to the braking position in a first direction. The lever (3) is also movable from the neutral position to the first actuation position in a second direction different from the first direction.
