PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform an appropriate calibration of an output of a torque sensor.SOLUTION: A control apparatus has (A) a detection part which detects that a pedal rotates by a predetermined angle, and (B) a correction part. When the detection part detects that the pedal rotated by the predetermined angle, the correction part corrects an off-set value for calibration of an output of a torque sensor by a correction value (for example, difference/predetermined value or difference×predetermined value) which is determined on the basis of a difference between the output of the torque sensor detected at a processing point and the off-set value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】トルクセンサの出力を適切に較正する。【解決手段】本発明に係る制御装置は、（Ａ）ペダルが所定角度回転することを検出する検出部と、（Ｂ）検出部によってペダルが所定角度回転したことを検出すると、トルクセンサの出力を較正するためのオフセット値を、処理時点において検出されたトルクセンサの出力と上記オフセット値との差に基づき決定される補正値（例えば差／所定値又は差?所定値）により補正する補正部とを有する。【選択図】図６
