The invention relates to a control system for a vehicle and to a method for controlling a vehicle using such a control system. The control system has a mobile input and analyzing device, a holding device for the input and analyzing device, and means for actuating electronic components and for detecting state information of the vehicle. The aim of the invention is to maintain low production costs for the control system and to allow a wide use with different vehicles. This is achieved by analyzing the state information obtained by the means and by generating control signals for the electronic components in the mobile input and analyzing device.

A torque and power measuring device corresponding to the non-drive side cyclist leg, comprising a hollow shaft connecting the two bicycle crank arms with strain sensors arranged in the shaft surface. These sensors are connected to an electronic control unit housed inside the shaft, to which are also connected other different sensors to measure a plurality of interesting quantities (pedaling cadence, crank arm angular position . . . ). This electronic control unit picks the sensor signals up, stores them and performs pre-programmed software operations to later wirelessly output the result signals towards a receiving device for analysis and/or storage them, by means of an antenna located outside the shaft and anchored to the outer surface of the jointed crank arm with the shaft.

The at least one link member is configured to movably couple the chain guide to the base member. The at least one link member has at least one third link-pin-receiving opening. The at least one link pin is configured to pivotally couple the at least one link member to the base member about at least one link pivot axis. One of the at least one link pin is configured to extend through the at least one first link-pin-receiving opening, the at least one second link-pin-receiving opening, and the at least one third link-pin-receiving opening.

A bicycle derailleur comprises a base member, a linkage structure, and a motor unit. The linkage structure includes a first link pin rotatably mounted to the base member about a first pivot axis. The motor unit is configured to apply rotational force to the first link pin to rotate the first link pin relative to the base member about the first pivot axis.

A front derailleur comprises a base member, a chain guide, and a linkage structure. The base member includes a mounting hole. The mounting hole has a center axis. The linkage structure comprises a first link member and a second link member. The first link member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis. The second link member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a second pivot axis. The first link member is pivotally coupled to the chain guide about a third pivot axis. The second link member is pivotally coupled to the chain guide about a fourth pivot axis. At least three of the first pivot axis, the second pivot axis, the third pivot axis, and the fourth pivot axis are non-parallel to and non-perpendicular to the center axis of the mounting hole.

Electric scooter (1), with a foot rest area (2) and a loading area (3), made up of a chassis (4) with a handlebar (5) and two driving wheels (6) at a first end of the chassis (4), and comprising two electric motors connected to the driving wheels (6) with two controllers; steering control systems including an electronic sensor connected to a drive device and an electronic board connected to the electronic sensor and the two controllers, and; a support wheel (7) at a second end of the chassis, opposite the first end, having fastening points to the chassis (2) in the form of a pivot shaft (8) connected to the chassis and to a suspension fork (9).

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.

Herein described is a bicycle comprising a frame, a drive wheel and a pedal crank/pedal assembly which transmits mechanical energy to the drive wheel by means of a transmission system which comprises: a tank containing a hydraulic fluid; a hydraulic circuit in which the hydraulic fluid flows; a hydraulic pump, actuated by the pedal crank/pedal assembly and configured to pump the hydraulic fluid through the hydraulic circuit; at least one hydraulic actuator, arranged along the hydraulic circuit and configured to transform the hydraulic energy supplied by the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic fluid into mechanical energy; and a drive shaft, connected to the hydraulic actuator and configured to transfer the mechanical energy generated by the hydraulic actuator to the drive wheel. The hydraulic pump is connected to an electric motor whose rotational speed, as well as the operating parameters of the hydraulic pump, are controlled by a circuit board. The bicycle comprises at least one first pedal frequency sensor, which controls the electric motor by modulating its rotational speed, so as to make the hydraulic pump rotate more or less rapidly in order to force the circulation of the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic circuit, facilitating pedalling, and at least one second power sensor, which measures the power applied by the cyclist to the pedal crank/pedal assembly, so as to accordingly adjust the power supplied by the electric motor to drive the hydraulic pump.

A human-powered vehicle control device is provided for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a human-powered vehicle component in accordance with a control state including first and second modes. The electronic controller changes a transmission ratio of a transmission device in accordance with a first shifting condition in the first mode, and changes the transmission ratio in accordance with a second shifting condition in the second mode. The electronic controller changes the first shifting condition in accordance with a converging reference value, which is related to a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, for a case where the human-powered vehicle is in a riding converging state in the first mode, and changes the second shifting condition in accordance with a converging reference value for a case where the human-powered vehicle is in the riding converging state in the second mode.
