CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
A control system in accordance for a human-powered vehicle comprises a brake device configured to brake a wheel, a brake operating device operated to actuate the brake device, a first communication path configured to communicate a first actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device, and a second communication path configured to communicate a second actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device. The second communication path differs from the first communication path.

Girocycle IX
A hollow flywheel gyro assembly mounted within the wheel supports of a two wheeled vehicle having a split drive hub for providing continued rotational motion to the hollow flywheel gyro as the vehicle is stopped when the brake is engaged and functioning to create gyroscopic stability about the drive wheel while simultaneously creating a stability enhancing air envelope surrounding the drive wheel and hollow flywheel gyro by the intake of adjacent air through the air intake apertures and the exhaust of that air volume from within the hollow flywheel gyro through air exhaust apertures as the hollow flywheel gyro rotates independently of the drive wheel of the vehicle causing the vehicle to remain in an upright equilibrium with the vehicle stopped.
ASSIGNABLE PAIRING ORDER
A system for a bicycle includes a plurality of controller devices. A type of controller device is the same for two or more controller devices of the plurality of controller devices. The system includes a pairing coordinator device configured to receive a respective device type identification from each controller device, and identify the type of controller device for the two or more controller devices based on the received device type identifications for the two or more controller devices. Based on the identification of the type of controller device, the pairing coordinator device is configured to update the device type identifications for the two or more controller devices, respectively, such that the updated device type identifications are different than each other. The pairing coordinator device is configured to pair only controller devices of the plurality of controller devices having different respective device type identifications with the pairing coordinator device.
CONTROLLER INDICATION
A coordinator device for a bicycle includes a processor configured to receive a signal generated in response to user input at an input element from a controller device. The signal includes data identifying a device type and data identifying the input element. The coordinator device includes a memory configured to store the data identifying the device type and the data identifying the input element. The processor is configured to generate a notification based on the received signal, transmit the generated notification to the mobile device, and in response to the transmission of the generated notification, receive a request for data related to the received signal from the mobile device. The processor is further configured, in response to the request, to transmit the stored data to the mobile device, such that an association of the controller device with the representation of the controller device is identifiable within the GUI at the mobile device.
Remote operating lever unit for operating brake unit, brake system, and method of repositioning lever
A remote operating lever unit (20) for operating a brake unit (10) mounted to an wheeled vehicle is provided a lever (22) for operation by a user, a main body (24) holding the lever (22) in a displaceable manner and including a control unit for transmitting a signal to the brake unit (10) based on a displacement amount of the lever (22) from a neutral position thereof, a holder (26) holding the main body (26), and a connecting portion (245, 265) detachably engaging the main body (24) and the holder (26) at an arbitrary angle around an axis (X) perpendicular to a plane in which the lever (22) displaces.

Operating device for human powered vehicle
An operating device for a human powered vehicle comprises a base member and an operating member configured to be movably coupled to the base member. A controller is configured to generate an operation signal in response to an operation of an electrical switch. An electric generator is configured to generate electric power in response to the operation of the electrical switch. A power storage is configured to store the electric power generated by the electric generator. The electrical switch and the electric generator is provided on a first location. The power storage is provided on a second location different from the first location. The second location is defined on at least one of the operating member and a surface of the base member.
Leaning-Type Vehicle
A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a lean mechanism, a lean brake mechanism, a steering handle, a left grip, a throttle grip, a lean brake manipulator. The lean mechanism causes the left front wheel and the right front wheel to lean about a front-rear direction as a rotation center when the vehicle body leans about the front-rear direction as a rotation center. The lean brake mechanism brakes the leaning operation by the lean mechanism while the leaning vehicle is traveling. The lean brake manipulator is positioned at a first side in the vehicle width direction, changes a position integrally with the left grip, and for performing an operation of actuating the lean brake mechanism to brake.
Shifting control device and electric shifting system
To provide a shifting control device and an electric shifting system allowing a user to comfortably ride a human-powered vehicle, a shifting control device comprising a controller configured to control a shifting device in accordance with a first operation performed on an operating device for braking a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle.
