Abstract
A method for controlling an electric drive motor of an electrically drivable bicycle includes determining a cadence of a rider of the bicycle, and operating the electric drive motor under specification of (i) a first predefined target speed for the electric drive motor, which is lower than the cadence of the rider, and (ii) a first predefined torque for the electric drive motor, when the determined cadence of the rider exceeds a predefined cadence threshold value. The method further includes operating the electric drive motor under specification of (i) a second predefined target speed for the electric drive motor, which is higher than the first target speed, and (ii) a second predefined torque for the drive motor, when a rider torque exerted by the rider on a drive train of the bicycle exceeds a first predefined rider torque threshold value.
