Saddle sensor assembly, human-powered vehicle control system comprising saddle sensor assembly, saddle assembly comprising saddle sensor assembly, and seatpost assembly comprising saddle sensor assembly

A saddle assembly comprising:

• a saddle having an opening;
• and
• a saddle sensor assembly attached to the saddle,
• the saddle sensor assembly comprising
• a load input configured to receive a load from a rider, and configured to be movable due to the load applied by the rider, the load input being disposed in the opening in the saddle;
• a sensor support provided between a seatpost and the load input,
• the load input being separately formed from the sensor support and the saddle so that the load input is configured to be movable relative to the sensor support between a first position and a second position, the load input being movably and pivotally connected to the sensor support about a fixed pivot point to facilitate movement between the first and second positions, the load input being an upper surface configured to be positioned above a seat surface of the saddle in a case where the saddle sensor assembly is attached, the upper surface of the load input being movable between the first and second positions relative to the sensor support;
• the fixed pivot point being a pivot pin connecting a front end of the load input and a front end of the sensor support, the load input being connected to the sensor support through the opening in the saddle, the pivot pin being disposed at a front end of the saddle;
• a mount supporting the load input and the sensor support, and attached to the saddle;
• and
• a sensor supported by the sensor support, wherein
• the sensor is configured to detect relative movement of at least one of the load input and the sensor support between the first position and the second position.

A seatpost assembly comprising

• a seatpost;
• and
• a saddle sensor assembly attached to the seatpost,
• the saddle sensor assembly comprising
• a load input configured to receive a load from a rider, and configured to be movable due to the load applied by the rider;
• a sensor support provided between the seatpost and the load input,
• the load input being separately formed from the sensor support and a saddle so that the load input is configured to be movable relative to the sensor support between a first position and a second position, the load input being movably and pivotally connected to the sensor support about a fixed pivot point to facilitate movement between the first and second positions, the load input being an upper surface configured to be positioned above a seat surface of the saddle in a case where the saddle sensor assembly is attached, the upper surface of the load input being movable between the first and second positions relative to the sensor support;
• the fixed pivot point being a pivot pin connecting a front end of the load input and a front end of the sensor support, the load input being connected to the sensor support through the opening in the saddle, the pivot pin being disposed at a front end of the saddle;
• a mount supporting the load input and the sensor support, and attached to the seatpost;
• and
• a sensor supported by the sensor support, wherein
• the sensor is configured to detect relative movement of at least one of the load input and the sensor support between the first position and the second position.
