A straddle type vehicle comprises: a detection unit configured to detect a situation of a detection area on one of a rear side and a lateral side of a self-vehicle; a distance determination unit configured to determine a change in a relative distance between the self-vehicle and another vehicle detected in the detection area and a notification control unit configured to make a notification to a driver based on one of a detection result of the detection unit and a determination result of the distance determination unit. The notification control unit makes the notification by first notification output if the other vehicle is detected in the detection area by the detection unit, and makes the notification by second notification output if it is determined by the distance determination unit that the relative distance to the other vehicle has become short.

This invention concerns a sound and performance emulator (1) for an electric propulsion vehicle (100) with a first sensor (2) to emit a clutch signal (2a) relative to the position of a clutch (101) of the electric propulsion vehicle (100); a second sensor (3) to emit a gear signal (3a) relative to the position of a gear-switch (102) of the electric propulsion vehicle (100); a control unit (4) which receives an acceleration signal (5) relating to an accelerator position (103) of the electric propulsion vehicle (100); a vehicle speed signal (6) and/or an engine revolutions signal (7) relating to the engine revolutions (RpmExt) of the electric motor (104); the clutch signal (2a); and the gear signal (3a). The control unit (4) calculates a simulated engine revolutions value (RpmFinal) and a simulated gear inserted value (GearInserted) of a simulated endothermic combustion vehicle. The control unit (4) provides a requested simulated torque value and/or an output throttle signal (OutputThrottle) to be sent to the electric propulsion vehicle (100) to control it.

A component is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The component includes a component body, a single substrate, a resistor, an electric wire, a signal processing unit, a signal output, and an electric power input. The single substrate is provided on the component body. The resistor is formed on the single substrate and forms a strain gauge with part of the single substrate.
