Operating device for human-powered vehicle
An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member and an electric communication port. The base member extends in a longitudinal direction. The base member includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is configured to be coupled to a handlebar. The second end portion is opposite to the first end portion in the longitudinal direction. The electric communication port is configured to be electrically connected to a connector of an electric cable. The electric communication port is closer to the second end portion than the first end portion in the longitudinal direction.
