Abstract

An automatic turn signal cancelling apparatus for a motorized cycle, in which a signal provided from a handlebar turning angle detector is accumulated in response to a signal provided from a travel distance detector, and the cancellation of turn signal is made on the basis of comparisons of such accumulated value and the output of the turning angle detector with respective preset values, whereby a more appropriate function of cancellation of turn signal can be achieved. Further, by providing with a device for determining a turning angle center in accordance with signals from the turning angle detector and the travel distance detector, a more accurate function of cancellation of turn signal can be attained. Moreover, an easier and more reliable operation is assured by providing a compact and functional operating switch assembly.
