A control system for a human-powered vehicle, the control system comprising:
- a sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to a pivot angle of a pivot portion provided between a riding portion and a carrier, the riding portion being located between the carrier and a handle;
- a drive unit including a motor configured to apply a propulsive force to the human-powered vehicle;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control the motor in accordance with the signal output from the sensor in a first control state where the pivot angle is a first pivot angle and in a second control state different from the first control state where the pivot angle is a second pivot angle smaller than the first pivot angle.
A control device for a human-powered vehicle, the control device comprising:
- an electronic controller configured to control a motor configured to apply a propulsive force to the human-powered vehicle in accordance with a pivot state detected by a sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to a pivot angle of a pivot portion provided between a riding portion and a carrier, the riding portion being located between the carrier and a handle, the electronic controller configured to control the motor in a first control state where the pivot angle is a first pivot angle and in a second control state different from the first control state where the pivot angle is a second pivot angle smaller than the first pivot angle.
