Abstract: A drive unit of an electrically assisted bicycle includes a movement restrictor to restrict the movement of a first bearing relative to a housing along a thrust direction. A first end surface of the first bearing is farther outward than a second end surface along the right-left direction. The housing includes an abutting portion that abuts the first end surface of the first bearing, and a groove that is farther inward than the abutting portion along the right-left direction. The movement restrictor includes the abutting portion, the groove of the housing, and an elastic member fitted in the groove.

Abstract: An axle assembly for a bicycle includes an axle having an inner wall extending along a length of the axle between a first end and a second end of the axle. The inner wall at least partially defines a first volume and a second volume within the axle. The first volume has a first diameter, and the second volume has a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. The first volume is closer than the second volume to the first end of the axle. The axle assembly also includes a sensor attached to the inner wall of the axle within the second volume of the axle.

Abstract: An information output device that can output the position of a load applied to the pedal is provided. A strain gauge is provided on the inner face of a crank of a bicycle and detects strain occurring in the crank. A cycle computer display unit displays an image showing the center position of the load applied to the pedal connected to the crank based on the tangential force and the torsional torque calculated based on the output values of the first strain gauge to the sixth strain gauge.

Abstract: A transmission device is provided for bodybuilding devices or bicycles, including an axle that is operatively coupled to a sprocket assembly for collaborative operation. Two cranks are provided, having contact surfaces including one way bearing mounted thereto for fitting to two ends of the axle. Two clutch control assemblies are controllable through a wire control assembly such that the clutch control assemblies are selectively engageable with or disengageable from two cranks respectively to set the cranks in an operation mode of regular bicycle pedaling or an operation mode of one side pedaling alone or two side parallel pedaling. An important feature is that the wire control assembly is of an arrangement involving a mateable combination of two halves of which the parts are made of plastics, where assembly for centering is achieved with recess-projection engagement for better assembly accuracy.
