Operating device
An operating device is basically provided with a base, a first operating member, a second operating member and an electric operating unit. The base is configured to mount the operating device to a handlebar. The base defines a mounting axis. The first operating member is pivotally arranged with respect to the base around a pivot axis. The second operating member is pivotally arranged with respect to the base around the pivot axis. The second operating member is a separate member from the first operating member. The electric operating unit is configured to be activated in response to a pivotal movement of the first operating member. The first operating member is arranged closer to the mounting axis than the electric operating unit.
Hydraulic operating device for human-powered vehicle
A hydraulic operating device is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The hydraulic operating device basically includes a base, an operating member and a handlebar mounting structure. The base includes a cylinder bore defining a cylinder axis. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base about a pivot axis between a rest position and an operated position. The handlebar mounting structure is coupled to the base. The handlebar mounting structure defines a handlebar mounting axis that extends linearly along a handlebar in a mounted state. The cylinder axis is inclined towards the handlebar mounting axis as the cylinder bore extends away from the pivot axis as viewed in a pivot axis direction parallel to the pivot axis. The pivot axis is located in an area between the cylinder axis and the handlebar mounting axis as viewed in the pivot axis direction.

WIRE CONTROL DEVICE HAVING HIGH STRUCTURAL STRENGTH
A wire control device having high structural strength, which is disposed on a handlebar of a bicycle, includes a main body, a bearing and a handle assembly. The main body includes a bearing fixing seat having an annular inner wall. The bearing is disposed in the bearing fixing seat and includes inner and outer races. The outer race of the bearing is in contact with the annular inner wall of the bearing fixing seat. The handle assembly is rotatably disposed on the main body and has a rotary axle. The inner race of the bearing is sleeved onto and in contact with the rotary axle. By the above-described configuration design of the wire control device, the bearing is primarily installed on the bearing fixing seat of the main body, so the whole handle assembly doesn't need quite large volume, bringing the wire control device high structural strength.
Master cylinder with sealing element
A sealing element for sealing a pressure chamber is provided in a master cylinder for a clutch or brake system. The sealing element has a sealing lip for sealing a feed of hydraulic fluid from a reservoir mounted on a housing of the master cylinder into the pressure chamber and has a sealing structure for sealing the pressure chamber from the surroundings of the pressure chamber.
Operating device for human-powered vehicle
An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member and an operating member. The base member extends in a longitudinal direction. The base member includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and an accommodating structure. The first end portion is configured to be coupled to a handlebar. The second end portion is opposite to the first end portion in the longitudinal direction. The accommodating structure is provided to the second end portion. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a pivot axis. The accommodating structure is disposed at a location which is the farthest from the first end portion in the second end portion along the longitudinal direction as viewed along the pivot axis. The accommodating structure includes an accommodating part configured to accommodate at least one of a power supply and circuitry.

Front two-wheel leaning vehicle
A front two-wheel leaning vehicle, including a handle, a steering shaft, a linkage mechanism and a load transfer mechanism. The load transfer mechanism includes a left-foot-placing part and a right-foot-placing part located between the left front wheel and the rear wheel, for left and right feet of the driver to be respectively placed thereon. The load transfer mechanism transfers a load to the left and right portions of the linkage mechanism through the left-foot-placing part and the right-foot-placing part, or through the right-foot-placing part and the left-foot-placing part, respectively. The steering shaft includes a handle adjusting mechanism configured to adjust, with respect to the left-foot-placing part and the right-foot-placing part, at least one of a handle height, which is a distance from a midpoint between the left and right front wheels to the grip, or an offset amount of the handle with respect to a rotation axis of the steering shaft.
