1. An interface comprising:
a housing attachable to a first frame part of a bicycle having an e-bike motor system;
a processor supported by the housing;
a first communication interface and a second communication interface in communication with the processor, wherein the first communication interface is a wired communication interface, and the second communication interface is a wireless communication interface; and
an input in communication with the processor and supported by the housing, the input being configured to generate a first control signal based on a first user input,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a second control signal via the second communication interface, the second control signal being generated by a control device attached to a second frame part of the bicycle based on a second user input; and
control the e-bike motor system via the first communication interface, based on the first control signal and the received second control signal, the first control signal and the second control signal causing the e-bike motor system to perform different operations.
