A human-powered vehicle wheel unit adapted to be attached to a human-powered vehicle hub. The wheel unit includes an accommodation portion and a first engagement portion. The accommodation portion is configured to accommodate at least part of the human-powered vehicle hub. The first engagement portion is provided on the accommodation portion. The first engagement portion is configured to transmit rotation of the human-powered vehicle hub to the accommodation portion through engagement with a second engagement portion provided on a flange projecting from an outer circumferential portion of a hub shell of the human-powered vehicle hub.

A control device is provided for a human-powered vehicle that includes a generator configured to output electrical power, an electric power storage device electrically connected to the generator, and a component having an actuator actuated by electrical power from at least one of the generator and the electric power storage device. The control device includes a controller electrically connected to at least one of the generator and the electric power storage device. The controller is configured to control an operation state of the component in accordance with information relating to at least one of an output state of the generator and a store state of the electric power storage device.

An injection moulded cantilevered single side mountable wheel for a bicycle, a rim; a central hub; and a plurality of hollow spokes connecting the rim to the central hub.

A hub structure having an anti-lock braking system contains: a hub assembly and an anti-locking assembly. The hub assembly is located on a center of a wheel and includes a holder and a connection shaft. The anti-locking assembly is received in the holder and is fitted on the connection shaft, and the anti-locking assembly includes an anti-lock seat received in the holder and fitted on the connection shaft to rotate with the holder simultaneously, multiple eddy current elements arranged on two sides of the anti-lock seat and two ends of the connection shaft. A predetermined distance is defined between any two adjacent eddy current elements, and a respective eddy current element has at least one electromagnetic induction portion, when two corresponding electromagnetic induction portions are electrically conducted, a current magnetic field produces so that the anti-lock seat produces reverse currents to stop rotation.

A bicycle part includes a housing and a lid. The housing includes an inner peripheral portion, an outer peripheral portion, an end wall portion and a connecting portion. The outer peripheral portion is spaced radially outward from the inner peripheral portion with respect to a center axis of the enclosed area. The end wall portion interconnects the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion to at least partly define an internal space. The connecting portion interconnects the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. The lid overlies the internal space. The lid is welded to the inner peripheral portion along an inner weld path and the outer peripheral portion along an outer weld path. The lid is further welded to at least part of the connecting portion of the housing a connecting weld path connecting the inner weld path and the outer weld path.

To provide a bicycle hub unit and a bicycle wheel assembly that allow a wheel unit to be appropriately coupled to a hub body, a bicycle hub unit is coupled to a rotary body to which a brake is applied by a brake device. The bicycle hub unit includes a hub body that rotates around a hub axle and a rotary body coupling portion that couples the rotary body to the hub body. The hub body includes a first joint portion and a second joint portion. The first joint portion includes an external thread coupled to an internal thread of the wheel unit. The second joint portion is coupled to a restriction member that restricts relative rotation of the first joint portion and the wheel unit.

A hub assembly is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The hub assembly includes a hub axle, a hub body, a pawl support body, at least one pawl, a sprocket support body, at least one sprocket support bearing, a ratchet body and a plurality of ratchet teeth. The hub body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle. The pawl support body is connected to the hub body. The pawl is movable between a driving position and a non-driving position. The at sprocket support bearing rotatably supports the sprocket support body on the hub axle. The ratchet body is connected to the sprocket support body. The ratchet teeth engage the pawl to transmit a driving force from the sprocket support body to the hub body while rotating in a driving rotational direction. The sprocket support bearing is disposed opposite to the hub body with respect to the ratchet teeth.

A bicycle having a rear wheel including an axle, a hub shell, a torque element including a torque output portion and a torque input portion, and a rear cog coupled to the torque input portion. The torque output portion is a first radial distance from the torque input portion. The position sensor measures a rotational position of the torque input portion relative to the torque output portion. In one embodiment, the position sensor includes a displacement indicator (e.g., a radial tab mounted to the torque output portion) and a displacement sensor (e.g., an inductive sensor mounted to the torque input portion). The inductive sensor preferably has two sensing coils positioned on each side of the displacement indicator. The hub assembly can further comprise a wireless transmitter adapted to transmit data from the position sensor. The hub shell preferably includes a window that facilitates data transmission from the wireless transmitter.

A silent hub structure includes a hub housing, an interlocking ring, a detent ring and a cassette base. The interlocking ring is installed inside the hub housing and has a central through-hole slot therein through which a detent ring is rotatably disposed therethrough. The through-hole slot is internally and circumferentially provided with a plurality of receiving grooves recessed at an equal distance therebetween on the internal wall. Each of these receiving grooves is disposed with a metal roller pin along the axial direction. The forward-rotating direction side of every receiving groove forms a clamping portion; a magnetic member is disposed in the interlocking ring near the clamping portion of each of the receiving groove separately, whereas the backward-rotating direction side of every receiving groove forms a releasing portion.
