  • Publication number: 20240092454
    Abstract: A method for operating an electric bike includes a braking system and a drive unit which is actuable in a controlled manner, with the braking system including an actuator which is actuable in a controlled manner for generating a braking torque in a controlled manner. The method includes generating a braking torque in a controlled manner by way of the braking system and generating a driving torque in a controlled manner by way of the drive unit. The generation of the braking torque in a controlled manner and the generation of the driving torque in a controlled manner are performed simultaneously and depending on one another in order to decelerate the electric bike at a predetermined total braking torque, or to accelerate at a predetermined total driving torque.

  • Publication number: 20230110395
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230110547
    Abstract: A method for operating a two-wheeler. The two-wheeler includes a drive unit and a sensor system, the sensor system including a rotation rate sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a wheel speed sensor. The wheel speed sensor detects at least one measuring pulse per revolution of a wheel of the two-wheeler. The method includes: detecting three-dimensional rotation rates of the two-wheeler, detecting acceleration values of the two-wheeler, and estimating a motion state of the two-wheeler based on the detected rotation rates, the motion state including estimated values for estimated acceleration values and an estimated speed and an estimated distance covered, first correction of the estimated motion state based on the detected acceleration values, ascertaining an instantaneous steering angle of the two-wheeler based on the corrected estimated motion state, and actuating the drive unit and/or an antilocking system of the two-wheeler as a function of the ascertained instantaneous steering angle.

  • Publication number: 20230035844
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220340224
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11175678
    Abstract: A method for laterally stabilizing a single-tracked motor vehicle, driven with the aid of an electric motor, that is in a vertically aligned state and at a standstill. The front wheel of the motor vehicle has a steering angle in which the electric motor is controlled in such a way that it exerts drive torques on the motor vehicle that act in alternation in the forward direction and in the reverse direction.

  • Patent number: 10018184
    Abstract: A method for detecting a state of change of an installation includes rotating at least one first component around a rotatable connection using a drive such that at least part of the at least one first component carries out an oscillation. The at least one first component is mechanically connected to a second component via the rotatable connection. The method further includes recording the oscillation using a third component. The method includes investigating the recorded oscillation for changes based on a reference value. The method further includes detecting the state of change of the installation in reference to the changes to based on the reference value.
