    摘要: A method for ascertaining movement variables of a two-wheeled vehicle. The two-wheeled vehicle includes a sensor system including rotational rate, acceleration, and wheel rotational speed sensors. The wheel rotational speed sensor detects at least one measurement pulse per rotation of a wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle. The method includes: acquisition of three-dimensional rotational rates of the two-wheeled vehicle by the rotational rate sensor, acquisition of acceleration values by the acceleration sensor, estimation of a state of movement of the two-wheeled vehicle based on the acquired rotational rates, the state of movement including estimated values for estimated acceleration values and for an estimated speed and for an estimated distance traveled, first correction of the estimated state of movement based on the acquired acceleration values, and ascertaining of an instantaneous speed of the two-wheeled vehicle and/or of a distance traveled by the two-wheeled vehicle, based on the corrected estimated state of movement.

    摘要: A method for controlling motor assistance provided by a motor of an electric bike is disclosed. The method includes determining a variable rate of change of a governing factor, which defines the extent to which a governing factor changes over a defined time interval The rate of change is selected such that the governing factor is decremented when a current speed is greater than a target speed, and the governing factor is incremented when the current speed is less than the target speed. The method further includes adjusting an existing governing factor based on the rate of change of the governing factor determined. The method also includes applying the governing factor calculated to a motor assistance determined for actuating the motor. A greater governing factor results in greater motor assistance than a comparatively lesser governing factor.

    摘要: A method for ascertaining a state of operating dynamics of a bicycle. The method includes: providing signals regarding an acceleration in at least one spatial direction and regarding a rate of rotation about at least one spatial direction, with the aid of an inertial measuring device; providing speed signals of an incremental encoder; and ascertaining the state of operating dynamics on the basis of an estimation method, in light of the provided signals; the current riding state being ascertained, and in the case of a dead stop of the bicycle as a current, ascertained riding state, substitute speed signals being provided in place of the speed signals of the incremental encoder, in order to estimate the state of operating dynamics for the estimation method.

    摘要: A method for operating a drive unit of an electric bicycle is disclosed. The method includes determining a temporary actual torque curve of a driver torque generated by a muscle force of a driver of the electric bicycle. The method further includes estimating a future torque curve by extrapolating the determined actual torque curve. In addition, the method includes determining whether the estimated future torque curve falls below a predetermined first torque threshold within a predetermined first time frame. The method also includes controlled reduction of a motor torque generated by way of the drive unit when the estimated future torque curve within the first time frame falls below the first torque threshold.

    摘要: A device for controlling a motor of an electric bicycle. The device includes a control electronics system that is set up to control a torque of the motor in a normal operating mode based on an acquired driver torque; to detect during normal operation whether, at the current motor torque, no rotation of the motor is taking place even though a driver torque is being exerted, and to control the motor to continue to provide the motor torque in a blocking operating mode if it has been detected that at the present motor torque no rotation of the motor is taking place even though a driver torque is being exerted.

    摘要: An electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle and a method for adjusting a drive torque of an electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle. The electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle includes: a sensor, based on which a pitch rate of the electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle is ascertainable; a device for influencing a drive torque of the electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle; and an evaluation unit configured to compare a pitch rate, which is ascertained on the basis of the sensor and represents a pitch rate of the electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle relative to the surroundings of the two-wheeled vehicle, to a predefined, static pitch rate threshold value, and configured to reduce a drive torque acting upon a drive train of the electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle using a predefined amplification factor, if a pitch rate generated by an upward movement of a front wheel of the electrically propelled two-wheeled vehicle exceeds the static pitch rate threshold value.

    摘要: A control device of a drive of an electric bicycle is disclosed. The control device is designed to (i) receive and/or retrieve a rider's input torque applied by a rider of the electric bicycle, (ii) determine an output torque based on the rider's input torque in a first value range of the rider's input torque according to a first rule, in a second value range of the rider's input torque according to a second rule and in a third value range of the rider's input torque according to a third rule, (iii) determine a supporting torque based on the output torque, and (iv) control the drive in accordance with the supporting torque. The second value range directly adjoins the first value range and the third value range. The first rule and the second rule and the third rule are different from one another. And the second rule is a continuous function with the rider's input torque as input parameter.
