In an automatic transmission control device of the invention configured to start an increase in engagement pressure of a start-up engagement element, when a determination threshold value for determining that a turbine rotational speed has reduced is reached or exceeded, the determination threshold value when a selection operation from a non-traveling range to a traveling range is made before a prescribed period of time from starting of an engine has elapsed, is increased and set greater than the determination threshold value when the selection operation is made after the prescribed period of time has elapsed. Accordingly, a reduction in the turbine rotational speed can be accurately determined, and thus it is possible to suppress torque fluctuations, occurring owing to engagement of a second brake, which is the start-up engagement element.

An electric motor comprises: a stator; a rotor having a rotor shaft; and a transmission coupled to the rotor shaft, wherein when the rotor shaft rotates in a first direction an output shaft of the transmission rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction with a first gear ratio, and wherein when the rotor shaft rotates in the second direction the output shaft of the transmission rotates in the second direction with a second gear ratio different from the first gear ratio.

A transmission for a bicycle includes at least four shift elements, one input shaft (1), a first planetary gear set (PS1) which is operatively connected to the input shaft (1), and a second planetary gear set (PS2). A carrier of the first planetary gear set is rotationally fixed to a carrier of the second planetary gear set (PS2).

A compact hub-embedded multi-stage transmission is provided which is implemented to achieve multi-stage shifting by using a multi-stage planetary gear set having a one stage or two or more stages and a double one-way clutch in order to impart an overrunning function during inertial travel, and at the same time, to allow rapid shifting to be made even with a small force for manipulating a shift lever by means of use of a forced shift function even in a driven travel state. Accordingly, product marketability can be maximized, and rapid shifting can be made even with a small force for manipulating a shift lever by means of use of a forced shift function even in a driven travel state, thereby considerably improving shifting accuracy.
