CONTROL DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRIC BICYCLE
An electric bicycle control device, and associated display device, are described. The control device, in some embodiments, includes an LED (light emitting diode) indicator (e.g., alphanumeric display) that presents information to riders of the electric bicycle, as well as various control buttons that facilitate rider control of the electric bicycle. The control device is associated with a display device, which presents additional or complementary information about the electric bicycle, such as information that is presented based on input received via the control device from the rider.
RIDER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD FOR RIDER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
The present invention obtains a rider-assistance system capable of appropriately assisting with driving by a rider of a straddle-type vehicle and a control method for such a rider-assistance system.
The rider-assistance system that assists with driving by the rider of the straddle-type vehicle includes: a peripheral environment detector that is mounted to the straddle-type vehicle and detects peripheral environment of the straddle-type vehicle; an input device that is mounted to the straddle-type vehicle and is operated by the rider of the straddle-type vehicle; and a controller that governs operation of the rider-assistance system. The controller includes: an acquisition section that acquires pitch angle correction target information that is target information on pitch angle correction of the peripheral environment detector; and a correction operation performing section that performs correction operation for detection of the peripheral environment by the peripheral environment detector on the basis of the pitch angle correction target information acquired by the acquisition section.

STRADDLE VEHICLE AND LIGHT CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
An operation member is switchable between a first operation position, a second operation position, and a third operation position. When operating force is released while the operation member is at the third operation position, the operation member returns to the second operation position. The controller is switchable between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the controller sets the headlight to high beam when the operation member is at the first operation position or the third operation position, and sets the headlight to low beam when the operation member is at the second operation position. In the second mode, the controller controls to change an illumination mode by the light according to a situation acquired by the situation acquisition unit. The switching from the first mode to the second mode is performed by holding the operation member at the third operation position for a first threshold time or more.
