A control device that controls a straddle type vehicle, the control device comprising: a route information acquisition unit configured to acquire information of a scheduled travel route of the straddle type vehicle; a weather information acquisition unit configured to acquire weather information corresponding to the scheduled travel route; a determination unit configured to determine whether the scheduled travel route of the straddle type vehicle is to be affected by weather based on the weather information; and a control unit configured to control a function related to a traveling state of the straddle type vehicle, based on a determination result of the determination unit.

A bicycle includes a transmission having two switchable drives between a driver body on which rear sprockets are positioned and a wheel hub of a rear wheel. The bicycle has actuation elements for switching between drives and operating elements for operating the actuation elements. The bicycle includes only a single front sprocket. The actuation elements are embodied in an electrical version and the operating elements are electrically coupled to the actuation elements. By advantageously selecting the drives of the driver between the cassette housing and wheel hub, a front derailleur may be omitted. The driver allows operation with only little energy, since the chain need not be shifted. consequently, the actuation elements require little energy for changing the drive between the crank axle and the wheel hub of the bicycle, so that it is pre-eminently suitable for these actuation elements and their operation to be executed as an electrical version.

An electrical switch device for a human-powered vehicle comprises an electrical switch unit and a connecting part. The electrical switch unit is configured to generate a signal in response to a user input. The connecting part is provided on the electrical switch unit so as to electrically connect an additional electrical switch device to the electrical switch device. The electrical switch device is configured to selectively transmit the signal from the electrical switch unit and an additional signal from the additional electrical switch device to an operating device configured to operate the electric component.

A bicycle with an electric pedal assist motor capable of driving a chainring independent of cranks includes wheel speed sensors and crank cadence sensors. The wheel speed sensors and the crank cadence sensors measure wheel speed and crank cadence, respectively, and provide the measured wheel speed and crank cadence to controller of the bicycle. The controller activates motor overdrive based on the measured wheel speed and/or the measured crank cadence.
