Automatic Bicycle Shifter and User Interface
An automatic bicycle drive train shifting apparatus comprising a bicycle drive chain derailer powered by a servo gearmotor slaved to an electronic control system and controlled through a highly adaptable user interface serving to automatically alternate drive chain position between available bicycle drive sprockets under user defined shifting criteria adaptable in real time to rider conditioning, comfort level and road conditions thereby alleviating manual shifting tasks and achieving optimal pedal rate and effort settings for the rider.
Bicycle derailleur
A bicycle derailleur comprises a circuit board, an electrical user interface, a motor housing, and a motor unit. The electrical user interface includes a user accessing portion configured to receive a user input. The motor housing includes a motor accommodating space. The motor unit is provided in the motor accommodating space and configured to generate rotational force and configured to be electrically connected to the circuit board. A first direction is defined from the circuit board toward the electrical user interface or from the electrical user interface toward the circuit board. The plurality of second directions is defined to be perpendicular to the first direction. The motor unit is at least partly provided between the user accessing portion of the electrical user interface and the circuit board when viewed in at least one of the plurality of second directions.
Derailleur for human-powered vehicle
A derailleur basically includes a base member, a movable member and a linkage assembly. The base member includes a first base member connecting section and a second base member connecting section. The movable member includes a first movable member connecting section and a second movable member connecting section. The linkage assembly includes an inner link member and an outer link member. The outer link is pivotally coupled to the second base member connecting section about a third pivot axis. The outer link is pivotally coupled to the second movable member connecting section about a fourth pivot axis. The outer link member has a power source receiving part that is configured to be arranged such that the power source receiving part traverses a reference line extending between the third pivot axis and the fourth pivot axis.
Bicycle electrical component assembly
A bicycle electrical component assembly is basically provided with a bicycle electrical component, a power supply unit and a power supply bracket. The bicycle electrical component includes a movable member and an electrical actuation unit. The electrical actuation unit includes an electrical actuator that is operatively coupled to the movable member to actuate the movable member.
