Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrical derailleur comprises a control unit to generate a control signal to operate at least one of an electrical bicycle seatpost assembly, an electrical suspension, and a driving unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electrical derailleur comprising: a control unit to generate a control signal to operate at least one of an electrical bicycle seatpost assembly, an electrical suspension, and a driving unit; a base; a chain guide; and a motor unit to move the chain guide relative to the base, wherein the control unit is provided on one of the motor unit and the base. 2. The electrical derailleur according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit wirelessly transmits the control signal. 3. The electrical derailleur according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is operatively connected to the motor unit. 4. The electrical derailleur according to claim 3 , wherein the control unit is provided to one of the motor unit and the base. 5. The electrical derailleur according to claim 1 , wherein the motor unit and the control unit are provided in an internal space of the base. 6. The electrical derailleur according to claim 5 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the motor unit to move the chain guide relative to the base. 7. The electrical derailleur according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the motor unit to move the chain guide relative to the base. 8. The electrical derailleur according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is provided to the motor unit as a single unit. 9. An electrical derailleur comprising: a control unit to generate a control signal to operate at least one of an electrical bicycle seatpost assembly, an electrical suspension, and a driving unit, wherein the control unit transmits the control signal in response to receipt of a transmission control signal transmitted from a shift switch. 10. An electrical derailleur comprising: a control unit to generate a control signal to operate at least one of an electrical bicycle seatpost assembly, an electrical suspension, and a driving unit, wherein the control unit keeps a shift position of the electrical derailleur when the control unit receives both an upshift signal and a downshift signal concurrently.
