Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a drive device (1) for a muscle-powered vehicle is provided. The drive device (1) includes a pedal shaft (2), a superposition gear unit (6) as a planetary transmission with a first element (7), a second element (8), and a third element (10), an output gear (5) mechanically operatively connectable to a wheel (42) of the muscle-powered vehicle, and an electric machine (12). The pedal shaft (2) is mechanically connected to the second element (8), the output gear (5) is mechanically connected to the third element (10), and the electric machine (12) is mechanically connected to the first element (7). The method includes detecting (I) the actual rotational speed of the output gear (5), determining (II) a target rotational speed of the pedal shaft (2), and controlling (III) the electric machine (12) based on the detected actual rotational speed and the determined target rotational speed.
