Abstract
A bicycle derailleur includes a derailleur body and a charging port configured to be detachably coupled to a charging cable to charge an electric power source. The charging port includes an electric terminal. The electric terminal includes a plurality of electric contact surfaces being disposed along a first longitudinal direction of the charging port.
Claims20
A bicycle derailleur comprising:
- a derailleur body including:
- a base member,
- a movable member configured to be movably coupled to the base member, and
- a linkage structure movably coupling the movable member to the base member, the linkage structure including a link pin pivotally coupling a portion of the linkage structure to the base member;
- a charging port configured to be detachably coupled to a charging cable to charge an electric power source;
- and
- a circuit board being provided to the bicycle derailleur;
- the charging port including an electric terminal;
- the electric terminal including a plurality of electric contact surfaces being disposed along a first longitudinal direction of the charging port;
- a direction of extension of the link pin being non-parallel to the first longitudinal direction;
- and
- the circuit board being arranged to be closer to the link pin than the charging port is to the link pin.
