摘要： An operating device for a vehicle comprises an outer unit that can be rotated manually, a detection device configured to detect the movement of the outer unit and generate a control signal using a value that characterizes the movement to control a vehicle function, and an actuator unit that contains a magnetorheological medium, which can be or is coupled to the outer unit and is configured to exert a retaining force on the outer unit based on the viscosity of the magnetorheological medium. The operating device also comprises a sensor unit located in the outer unit and configured to generate a hand signal indicating the absence of a user's hand on the outer unit, and a manipulating device for manipulating the control signal on the basis of the hand signal.

摘要： An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base structure, a first switch unit, and a first coupling structure. The first switch unit comprises a first switch base member, a first switch, and a first movable member. The first switch is configured to be activated in response to a first user input. The first switch is mounted to the first switch base member. The first movable member is pivotally coupled to the first switch base member about a first pivot axis such that the first movable member activates the first switch in response to the first user input. The first coupling structure is configured to couple the first switch base member to the base structure such that a position of the first switch base member is adjustable relative to the base structure about the first pivot axis.

摘要： A wireless communication device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a wireless communicator and a controller. The wireless communicator is configured to wirelessly communicate with an additional wireless communicator. The wireless communicator has a first mode in which the wireless communicator operates under a first power consumption and a second mode in which the wireless communicator operates under a second power consumption which is lower than the first power consumption. The controller is configured to detect a change in a state of at least one switch. The controller is configured to set the wireless communicator with the first mode if the controller detects the change in the state of the at least one switch as the wireless communicator is in the second mode.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to electric road-legal vehicles, and provides a pedal-assisted RTO registrable two-wheeled electric vehicle (20). The vehicle (20) includes a hub motor (8) mounted on its rear wheel (9) axle, and a pedal assembly (6). The vehicle (20) houses a battery pack (2), and a swing arm. The battery pack (2) drives the hub motor (8) at power greater than 250 Watts and top speed greater than 25 kmph. A sensing unit senses the angular displacement of an accelerator (1) to generate a sensed displacement value. A torque sensor (7) is fitted in the frame near the pedals, to sense the torque applied by the pedal assembly (6) while driving, and generate a sensed torque value. A control module receives the sensed displacement value and the sensed torque value to generate an actuating signal for supplying power from the battery pack (2) to drive the hub motor (8).

摘要： A bicycle control device includes a body, at least one button on the body, an antenna for connection via radio to a component of the bicycle, and an electronic unit mounted in the body and connected to the button and to the antenna. The control device also includes an insert made of electrically insulating material, with a resistivity greater than 107 Ωm, on the body, the antenna being on the insert. The arrangement of the antenna on the insert of such an insulating material reduces or eliminates disturbances during the transmission from the antenna to the component, independently of the material of the body.
