An electrically powered bicycle equipment has an attachment/detachment seat for an electric power supply unit, and a latch assembly for holding the electric power supply unit in the seated state includes a slider having a head and a back. Either the electric power supply unit or the equipment has a sliding seat for the slider, the other one has a retaining seat for the head. The sliding seat accommodates the back of the slider, which has a peripheral groove and a ring gasket housed in the peripheral groove. The groove has two aligned sections and a deeper intermediate section between them. When the slider is in the fully advanced position, a gasket portion bridges the intermediate section between the two aligned sections, and when the slider moves back, the gasket portion can curve towards the bottom of the intermediate section of the peripheral groove.
