Pedal-equipped bicycle

A pedal-equipped bicycle comprising:

• a vehicle body frame including a head tube, and a down tube including a front end connected to a rear edge of the head tube and extending obliquely downward such that a rear end of the down tube is lower than the front end;
• a front wheel supported by a front fork including a steering column rotatably supported by the head tube;
• a rear wheel supported by the vehicle body frame;
• a left crank and a right crank supported by the vehicle body frame;
• and
• a steering assist device including a steering assist motor, a battery to supply electric power to the steering assist motor, a first power source harness to electrically connect the steering assist motor and the battery, a controller configured or programmed to control the steering assist motor, and a torque transmission to transmit a torque of the steering assist motor to the steering column;
• wherein
• the steering assist device includes a torque sensor to detect a torque applied to the steering column;
• the steering assist motor, the battery, the first power source harness, and the torque transmission (1) are located farther forward than a midpoint of a line segment that connects axles of the front wheel and the rear wheel and farther forward than a rotation center of the left crank and the right crank as viewed in a left-right direction of the pedal-equipped bicycle, and (2) at least partially overlap the down tube as viewed in an up-down direction of the pedal-equipped bicycle;
• and
• the controller is configured or programmed to control the steering assist motor based on a torque signal detected by the torque sensor.
