本明細書において使用される「少なくとも1つ」という表現は、所望の選択肢の「1つ以上」を意味する。一例として、本明細書において使用される「少なくとも1つ」という表現は、その選択肢の数が2つであれば「1つの選択肢のみ」または「2つの選択肢の双方」を意味する。他の例として、本明細書において使用される「少なくとも1つ」という表現は、その選択肢の数が3つ以上であれば「1つの選択肢のみ」または「2つ以上の任意の選択肢の組み合わせ」を意味する。 The term "at least one" as used herein means "one or more" of the desired options. As an example, the term "at least one" as used herein means "only one option" or "both of two options" if the number of options is two. As another example, the term "at least one" as used herein means "only one option" or "any combination of two or more options" if the number of options is three or more.

第1実施形態および第2実施形態において、人力駆動車は、走行のための原動力に関して、少なくとも部分的に人力を用いる車両を意味し、電動で人力を補助する車両を含む。人力以外の原動力のみを用いる車両は、人力駆動車には含まれない。特に、内燃機関のみを原動力に用いる車両は、人力駆動車には含まれない。通常、人力駆動車には、小型軽車両が想定され、公道での運転に免許を要しない車両が想定される。一例では、人力駆動車は、電気エネルギーを用いて人力駆動車の推進を補助するアシスト装置を含む自転車(e-bike)である。より具体的には、シティサイクルである。人力駆動車の構成は、任意に変更可能である。人力駆動車は、アシスト装置を省いて構成できる。言い換えれば、人力駆動車は人力駆動力によってのみ駆動される通常の自転車であってもよい。人力駆動車の種類は、ロードバイク、マウンテンバイク、または、クロスバイクであってもよい。 In the first and second embodiments, the human-powered vehicle means a vehicle that uses human power at least partially as a driving force for traveling, and includes vehicles that electrically assist human power. Vehicles that use only a driving force other than human power are not included in the human-powered vehicle. In particular, vehicles that use only an internal combustion engine as a driving force are not included in the human-powered vehicle. Typically, a human-powered vehicle is assumed to be a small, light vehicle, and a vehicle that does not require a license to drive on public roads is assumed. In one example, the human-powered vehicle is a bicycle (e-bike) that includes an assist device that uses electric energy to assist the propulsion of the human-powered vehicle. More specifically, it is a city cycle. The configuration of the human-powered vehicle can be changed as desired. The human-powered vehicle can be configured without the assist device. In other words, the human-powered vehicle may be a normal bicycle that is driven only by human driving force. The type of the human-powered vehicle may be a road bike, a mountain bike, or a cross bike.

ハブ10は、軸部材12、62の中心軸心に沿う軸方向において、回転体14と並べて配置されるフリーホイールをさらに備えていてもよい。フリーホイールは、軸部材12、62まわりに回転可能に回転体14と連結される。一例では、フリーホイールは、リアスプロケットに伝達された駆動力を回転体14に伝達し、回転体14とともに軸部材12、62まわりに回転する。フリーホイールは、第1回転方向の回転を回転体14に伝達するように構成され、かつ、第1回転方向とは反対の回転方向である第2回転方向の回転を回転体14に伝達しないように構成される。 The hub 10 may further include a freewheel arranged alongside the rotating body 14 in the axial direction along the central axis of the shaft members 12, 62. The freewheel is coupled to the rotating body 14 so as to be rotatable around the shaft members 12, 62. In one example, the freewheel transmits the driving force transmitted to the rear sprocket to the rotating body 14 and rotates together with the rotating body 14 around the shaft members 12, 62. The freewheel is configured to transmit rotation in a first rotational direction to the rotating body 14, and is configured not to transmit rotation in a second rotational direction, which is the opposite rotational direction to the first rotational direction, to the rotating body 14.
