DETECTION DEVICE AND CONTROL SYSTEM
A detection device includes sensor device configured to obtain environmental information about surroundings of a small vehicle, an output unit outputting the environmental information to a control device of the small vehicle, and a mount configured to be attached to a rider of the small vehicle so as to hold the sensor device and the output device.
CONTROLLING DEVICE, INDICATING SYSTEM, AND CONTROLLING METHOD
A controlling device includes a storage device configured to store predetermined information about durability of a component of a man-powered vehicle, and a controller configured to control an indicator based on the predetermined information.
Lever driven bicycle with synchronous drive ratio control
A lever driven bicycle with synchronous drive ratio control is disclosed. The lever driven bicycle may include a pair of drive levers pivotable around an axis. The lever driven bicycle may also include a force applicator connected to each drive lever, each force applicator configured to receive an application of a force to rotate a drive wheel. The lever driven bicycle may further include a control mechanism connected to the pair of drive levers, the control mechanism configured to synchronously adjust a drive ratio of each drive lever.

Electronic shifting device and bicycle using the same
An electronic shifting device and a bicycle using the same are provided. The electronic shifting device includes a primary controller, a first electronic derailleur unit, a second electronic derailleur unit, a cable, a main power supply and a first control unit. The first electronic derailleur unit is disposed adjacent to a first sprocket set, and the second electronic derailleur unit is disposed adjacent to a second sprocket set. The first electronic derailleur unit and the second electronic derailleur unit are configured to move a chain between a plurality of sprockets. The cable electrically connects the primary controller, the first electronic derailleur unit and the second electronic derailleur unit. The main power supply provides electrical power to the primary controller, the first electronic derailleur unit and the second electronic derailleur unit by the cable. The first control unit is configured for wirelessly transmitting a first control signal to the primary controller.
Bicycle electric rear derailleur
A bicycle electric rear derailleur that has a support body configured to be mounted on a bicycle frame at an assembly of wheels coaxial with a hub of a rear wheel of the bicycle, a movable body, having a chain guide and linkage between the movable body and the support body. The linkage between the movable body and the support body comprises an inner connecting rod and an outer connecting rod. The ends of the rods are articulated to the support body and to the movable body to form an articulated parallelogram. A battery power supply unit is supported by one of the inner connecting rod and the outer connecting rod.
STRADDLE VEHICLE
A straddle vehicle comprises a shift drum formed with an engaged part; a transmission case formed with an insertion hole, a gear position sensor including an engagement part engageable with the engaged part; and a seal ring fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the gear position sensor, and the insertion hole includes a first inner peripheral surface with which the seal ring is in tight contact in a state in which the engagement part is engaged with the engaged part, and a second inner peripheral surface located closer to an entrance of the insertion hole than the first inner peripheral surface and having a diameter larger than a diameter of the first inner peripheral surface, and in a state in which the seal ring has reached an entrance of the first inner peripheral surface, at least a portion of the engagement part is fitted to the engaged part.

Bicycle component fixing structure and bicycle component assembly
A bicycle component fixing structure includes at least one bracket including at least one connecting portion and at least one fixing portion. The connecting portion is connected to the bicycle component. The fixing portion extends from the connecting portion and is fixed with respect to an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical portion having an open end. The fixing portion includes at least one inner surface that opposes an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, and at least one outer surface that faces in the opposite direction from the inner surface. The fixing portion is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion by a pressing force that acts on the outer surface. The bracket fixes the bicycle component to the open end of the cylindrical portion, in a state in which the fixing portion is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion.
