A power assist device may include a motor, a motor driving circuit, sensors to output signals in accordance with a rotational speed of the wheel, a memory, and a signal processor. The memory stores information of a parameter defining a transfer function that interrelates a total torque to be input to the vehicle and a rotational speed of the wheel, and an inverse transfer function thereof. Based on the inverse transfer function, the signal processor determines an estimated value of total torque from a detected value of rotational speed of the wheel. Moreover, based on the transfer function, the signal processor updates at least a portion of the information of the parameter so that, for example, an error between a detected value of rotational speed of the wheel and an estimated value of rotational speed of the wheel as determined from the estimated value of total torque is reduced.
