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.

A hydraulic pressure control unit capable of suppressing application of an external force thereto in comparison with the related art at the time when mounted to a straddle-type vehicle is obtained.

A hydraulic pressure control unit (1) includes a base body (10) that is formed with a master cylinder port (11), a wheel cylinder port (12), and an internal channel (13) communicating the master cylinder port (11) and the wheel cylinder port (12) with each other. The master cylinder port (11) is formed in an upper surface (25) of the base body (10), and the wheel cylinder port (12) is formed in a lower surface (26) of the base body (10), the lower surface (26) opposing the upper surface (25). The internal channel (13) is configured not to be able to return a brake fluid in an accumulator (33) to the master cylinder port (11) without interposing an outlet valve (32). An inlet valve recess (18) and an outlet valve recess (19) are aligned in a direction in which the upper surface (25) and the lower surface (26) are aligned.

A bicycle brake lever includes a main body, a brake assembly, and a valve. The main body includes a casing and a cover mounted on the casing. The casing has a storage chamber and a hydraulic chamber. The brake assembly includes a lever, a link, and a piston. The lever is pivotally disposed on the casing, the link connects the lever and the piston, the link is disposed through the cover, the piston is movably located in the hydraulic chamber and has an inner channel in fluid communication with the storage chamber. The valve is movably disposed on the casing. The valve is partially located in the hydraulic chamber. When the piston is moved from an initial position to a sealed position, the valve blocks the inner channel of the piston, such that the hydraulic chamber is not in fluid communication with the storage chamber.

The present invention relates to a bicycle handlebar, for a bicycle, arranged for providing at least one function for the purpose of at least one subsystem of the bicycle. The bicycle handlebar includes a head tube part that during use, at least partly, substantially extends along the head tube, a left handlebar bend with a handle end that extends to the left side from the head tube part, and a left handlebar bend with a handle end that extends to the right side from the head tube part. The bicycle handlebar includes at least an internal feedthrough channel from at least one of the left handlebar bend and right handlebar bend and wherein the at least one internal feedthrough channel extends into the head tube part.

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.

An operating device is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The operating device basically includes a base, a first operating member and a first electric switch. The first operating member is movably arranged with respect to the base from a first position to a second position. The first electric switch is provided to the base. The first operating member is configured to activate the first electric switch at least two distinct times in response to a progressive movement of the first operating member from the first position towards the second position.

In human-powered vehicles, e.g., bicycles, etc., it is customary to use drum brakes, disc brakes or shoe brakes. Each of the braking systems has different advantages in terms of braking effect, system costs, ease of maintenance, etc. A brake unit with a modified structure for a vehicle is provided. For this purpose, a brake unit 14 for a vehicle 1 is disclosed, having a housing 15, having a brake body device 23, wherein the brake body device 23 supports a stationary brake partner of a brake apparatus 12 for the vehicle 1, wherein the housing 15 and/or the brake body device 23 defines a main axis H, having an actuator for moving the brake body device relative to the housing 15 in order to generate a braking force, wherein the stationary brake partner is formed as a brake disc 13.

A position of a center of gravity of a vehicle body is easily optimized. An ABS modulator is disposed in a vicinity of a pivot bracket, which is joined to a lower rear portion of a main frame, and to which a swing arm is swingably connected.
