When the driver operates the brake lever, the micro switch 7 is turned on. In such a case, regeneration is turned on regardless of the states of other sensors. Therefore, when the brake lever is operated, the braking force by the regeneration is applied to the wheels in addition to the braking force by the human power of the driver. As a result, the braking force required by the driver is reduced and wear of the brake shoes is suppressed. Further, by charging the battery, the travelable distance is extended.

“Small” means less than the predetermined value. For example, regarding the vehicle speed, 30 [km / h] or more is “large”, 30 [km

るとよい。Generally, when a bicycle runs at high speed,
Since the wind pressure also increases according to the speed, it is necessary to continue pedaling with a certain amount of force in order to maintain the current speed while traveling. The reason why the pedal is not sufficiently operated in such a state is that the driver is gradually trying to reduce the vehicle speed. Therefore, in such a state, the regeneration is turned on. In some cases, the driver does not want to decelerate by regeneration, but rather wants to naturally decelerate by relying on the wind pressure. In this case, as described above, the mode setting switch 6 may be set to the "off" mode.

Therefore, in such a case, the regeneration is set to the off state.

Often, drivers often coast to rest their feet. In the present embodiment, in view of the actual situation, when the vehicle speed is "low", regardless of the pedal operation state,
It was decided to set regeneration to the off state. If the driver desires to decelerate by regeneration, the mode setting switch 6 may be set to the "on" mode.

Further, by charging the battery, the travelable distance is extended. In particular, in the "AUTO" mode, the on / off of the regeneration is automatically controlled according to various situations, so that extremely comfortable driving can be performed.
