Abstract
A method for braking a vehicle which is operable by a motor or by muscular power, in particular an electric bicycle. During a braking operation, a brake force influencing device is controlled by an electric brake pressure control device, and the brake pressure for the front wheel brake and/or for the rear wheel brake, and thus the brake force thereof, is increased and/or decreased. The brake pressure control device receives brake pressure signals in each case from a brake actuation detector for the front wheel brake and for the rear wheel brake, and an improved distribution of a total brake force on the front wheel and the rear wheel is effectuated which differs from the distribution that is effectuated by the driver.
