Abstract
A method and a device for controlling an additional electric or motor drive of a vehicle that can be driven at least partially by the rider using a pedal drive. To derive the control of the drive, at least one first rotational movement variable is detected that represents the rotational movement of the pedals or the pedaling movement of the crank performed by the rider. The first rotational movement variable can be detected by one or more sensors. The drive is controlled or regulated dependent on a second rotational movement variable that is derived from the first rotational movement variable. At least one time constant that influences the follow-up time of the actuated or regulated drive is taken into consideration in addition to the first rotational movement that represents the pedaling movement of the rider. The time constant used may be varied to calculate the second rotational movement variable.
