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.
