Abstract
An electric control device is provided with a fixed member, a user operating member and a position sensing unit. The fixed member has a bicycle mounting part. The user operating member is movably mounted to the fixed member. The user operating member includes a first magnetic element. The position sensing unit has a rotating member and a position sensor. The position sensor senses a position of the rotating member. The rotating member includes a second magnetic element that rotates the rotating member as the user operating member is moved. At least one of the first and second magnetic elements is configured to generate a magnetic field.
