Abstract
A human-powered vehicle control device for a human-powered vehicle includes an electronic controller configured to control a motor, which applies a propulsion force to a human-powered vehicle, in correspondence with a human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control the motor so as to increase an assist force produced by the motor for when an output of the motor is maximal upon determining a parameter related to at least one of a vehicle speed of the human-powered vehicle, an inclination angle of the human-powered vehicle, and a travel resistance of the human-powered vehicle has increased.

A human-powered vehicle control device for a human-powered vehicle, the human-powered vehicle control device comprising:
- an electronic controller configured to control a motor, which applies a propulsion force to a human-powered vehicle, in correspondence with a human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle,
- the electronic controller being configured to control the motor so as to increase an assist force produced by the motor for when an output of the motor is maximal upon determining a parameter related to at least one of a vehicle speed of the human-powered vehicle, an inclination angle of the human-powered vehicle, and a travel resistance of the human-powered vehicle has increased.
A human-powered vehicle control device for a human-powered vehicle, the human-powered vehicle control device comprising:
- an electronic controller configured to control a motor, which applies a propulsion force to a human-powered vehicle, in correspondence with a human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle,
- the controller being configured to control the motor so as to increase a ratio of an assist force produced by the motor to the human driving force if a vehicle speed of the human-powered vehicle increases upon determining the vehicle speed of the human-powered vehicle is in a first range that is higher than 15 kilometers per hour.
