In a method for operating an electric vehicle, including a first energy storage device (e.g., a rechargeable battery storage device), a second energy storage device (e.g., a double-layer capacitor device), an energy supply unit which provides energy, for charging the first and/or second energy storage device, and a first electrical consumer connected to the second energy storage device via an intermediate circuit, the first energy storage device is connected to the energy supply unit via a bidirectional converter unit, the second energy storage device is connected to the energy supply unit, a first power flows from the first energy storage device to the second energy storage device if an intermediate circuit voltage falls below a definable voltage, and a second power flow from the second to the first energy storage device is prevented.

In a method for monitoring an electromagnetically actuable brake, which has an energizable coil that interacts with a tractive electromagnet situated so as to be linearly movable, and a vehicle having an electromagnetically actuable brake, the current flowing through the coil is acquired, the acquired current value in particular being conveyed to an evaluation unit, the voltage applied at the coil is intermittently increased, and a relative position of the tractive electromagnet with respect to the coil is determined from the thereby induced current characteristic, in particular the characteristic of the current rise, it is particularly determined from the ascertained position whether the brake is in the applied state or in the released state, the tractive electromagnet in particular is arranged as a permanent magnet or has a permanent magnet.

A mobile component having a roller bearing unit, in particular a mobile component having a steering roller, a roller, in particular a drive roller, being rotationally braced in a pivot unit, which is supported via a pivot bearing on the frame of the mobile component, the axes of rotation of the two pivot bearings in particular being aligned perpendicularly with respect to each other, the axis of rotation of the pivot bearing for pivoting parallel to the direction of the normal of the normal of the driving surface of the mobile component touched by the roller, a drum brake being developed on the roller, the actuation of the drum brake being able to be brought about by an electromagnet, which is connected on the frame of the mobile component, the drum brake being able to be actuated by the electromagnet via a wedge gear.
