An electric power assist device for bicycles includes: a dynamic brake controller configured to stop supply of a current from a battery to an electric motor and bring a dynamic brake circuit to an ON state when a crank rotational angle is within one or more predetermined crank rotational angle ranges; a pedaling force estimator configured to estimate a pedaling force put on pedals of a bicycle on a value of reverse current caused by a counter electromotive force and detected by a current sensor when the dynamic brake circuit is in the ON state; and a motor drive controller configured to control the electric motor based on the pedaling force estimated by the pedaling force estimator.
