Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for automatic adjustment of a pedelec having a first assist level and a second assist level includes the following steps. The pedelec is operated at an initial assist level. A pedal torque index is measured and compared with a predetermined numeric section having an upper threshold and a lower threshold. If the pedal torque index is within the predetermined numeric section, the pedelec is kept in operating at the initial assist level. If the pedal torque index is lower than the lower threshold, the pedelec is adjusted to operate at the second assist level. If the pedal torque index is higher than the upper threshold, the pedelec is adjusted to operate at the first assist level. Therein, auxiliary force provided by the pedelec at the second assist level is less than auxiliary force provided by the pedelec at the first assist level.
