  • Publication number: 20260167300
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a gearshift for a pedal-driven vehicle that includes a control unit and at least one user interface for manually triggering a shift operation. The method includes (i) receiving a first shift instruction including an indication of origin, in particular by the control unit, (ii) receiving a second shift instruction including an indication of origin, in particular by the control unit, wherein the indication of origin of the first shift instruction is different from the indication of origin of the second shift instruction, and (iii) adjusting the operation of the gearshift as a function of the first and/or the second shift instruction.

  • Publication number: 20260167299
    Abstract: A method for operating a pedal-driven vehicle, in particular, a bicycle, a pedal-driven vehicle, a computer program product, a computer-readable medium, and a data carrier signal are disclosed. The pedal-driven vehicle includes a gear shift and a control unit. The method includes (i) determining an actual speed of the pedal-driven vehicle, (ii) determining a shift threshold for the gear shift as a function of the actual speed, (iii) calculating, by way of the control unit, a shift threshold displacement as a function of the actual speed and the shift threshold, and (iv) operating, by way of the control unit, the gear shift as a function of the shift threshold displacement.

  • Publication number: 20260159194
    Abstract: A method for operating a pedal-driven vehicle, a pedal-driven vehicle, a computer program product, a computer-readable data carrier, and a data carrier signal are disclosed. The method includes ascertaining a first speed which is specific to the pedal-driven vehicle. The method further includes ascertaining a second speed or a third speed which is specific to the pedal-driven vehicle. The method also includes calculating, by a control unit, a final speed as a function of the first speed and (i) the second speed, or (ii) the third speed. In addition, the method includes operating, by the control unit, the pedal-driven vehicle as a function of the final speed.

  • Patent number: 12344349
    Abstract: A method for changing a transmission ratio of an electrically controllable gearing of a bicycle, in particular of an electric bicycle, includes (i) measuring a pedaling frequency of the bicycle rider on the pedal shaft, (ii) measuring a pedaling force of the bicycle rider, and (iii) determining a gear change operating state on the basis of the measured pedaling frequency and on the basis of the measured pedaling force if the measured pedaling frequency is less than or equal to a lower frequency threshold value or is greater than or equal to an upper frequency threshold value, and/or the measured pedaling force is less than or equal to a lower force threshold value or is greater than or equal to an upper force threshold value. After determining the gear change operating state, a control signal is generated for the gearing according to the determined gear change operating state.
