ABSTRACT:
A motor control apparatus for a bicycle having a motor that moves to a plurality of first positions (e.g., gear shifting positions) and to a second position (e.g., an antitheft position) includes a signal providing circuit that provides a first signal for commanding the motor to move from the plurality of first positions toward the second position and that provides a second signal for commanding the motor to move from the second position toward the plurality of first positions. A position indicating circuit is provided for generating a position indicating signal indicating when the motor is in a selected one of the plurality of first positions, and a motor inhibiting circuit is provided for generating a motor inhibiting signal for inhibiting the motor from moving toward the second position in response to the first signal when the position indicating signal indicates the motor is in the selected one of the plurality of first positions.
