With rotation of the shift drum 50 by the gear-shift rotation angle, the shift forks 491 through 493 move the sliders 451 through 453 in the axial direction of the shaft 21 or 22. In this manner, dog portions of the sliders 451 through 453 mesh with dog portions of the gears 441 through 446 so that rotation of the shaft 21 is transferred to the shaft 22.

A drive unit includes: a pedal crankshaft to which a pedal stepping force of a rider is applied; an electric motor that detects a torque input to the pedal crankshaft and generates a drive force; and a transmission that changes shift of the drive force of the electric motor and delivers the drive force to the pedal crankshaft, the transmission includes a main shaft that supports a plurality of drive gears and a counter shaft that supports a plurality of driven gears that engage with the plurality of respective drive gears, and the transmission selects one torque delivery gear among the plurality of drive gears, delivers the drive force of the electric motor to the counter shaft, and shifts the torque delivery gear without inverting a rotational direction of the drive gear.
