A method for controlling an electric bicycle that can be operated with motor force and/or with pedal force is disclosed. The method includes (i) providing a trigger signal for enabling the activation of a walk mode to a control unit of the electric bicycle, (ii) providing a measurement signal of a sensor device regarding a property of the electric bicycle and/or regarding a component comprised by the electric bicycle to the control unit, (iii) detecting plausibility of the trigger signal on the basis of the provided measurement signal, and (iv) controlling the electric bicycle by enabling the activation of the walk mode in accordance with the detection of the plausibility of the trigger signal. Also disclosed is an electric bicycle that can be operated with motor force and/or with pedal force.

A method for controlling the operation of a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle and in particular a vehicle drivable using muscle power and/or—in particular additionally—using motor power, an electric bicycle, e-bike, pedelec, or the like. In the method, it is checked whether a discharge condition for discharging an accumulator of the braking system is met. If the discharge condition is met, initially a controllable inlet valve in a primary circuit of the braking system is set into a partially closed state over a predefined duty cycle, in particular of%, and/or for a predefined time span and then an outlet valve of the accumulator is opened for a predefined time span—continuously or in intervals—so that brake fluid is discharged from the accumulator via the outlet valve, the primary circuit, and the inlet valve into a reservoir of a master cylinder of the primary circuit.

A method for the communication of at least two users of a networked traffic system. A first user sends pieces of exchange information using a first signal transmission path, the pieces of exchange information including first sensor data of the first user and a code representing the first user. The first user sends the representative code or one further representative code using at least one second signal transmission path. A second user receives the pieces of exchange information via the first signal transmission path. The second user ascertains using a surroundings sensor system second sensor data by detecting surroundings. The second user receives using the surroundings sensor system the code sent via the second signal transmission path. The second user associates the first sensor data and the second sensor data with one another with the aid of the representative code and/or with the aid of the further representative code.
