  "textContent": "A control apparatus for a motor-assisted bicycle in order to increase the frequency at which a battery is charged detects a pedaling torque applied to a crankshaft (48) with a pedaling force sensor (110), controls a motor unit (28) of the motor-assisted bicycle (10) in a regenerative control process to charge a battery (44) if the torque value of the detected pedaling torque is equal to or smaller than a predetermined level, and controls the motor unit (28) in an assistive control process if the torque value is greater than the predetermined level. The control apparatus (250) controls the motor unit (28) in the regenerative control process at a crankshaft angular position in which the torque value detected by the pedaling force sensor (110) is equal to or smaller than the predetermined level, and switches from the regenerative control process to the assistive control process for controlling the motor unit (28) at a crankshaft angular position in which the torque value detected by the pedaling force sensor (110) becomes higher than the predetermined level.",
