Method and device for activating a motor of an electric two-wheeler

A device for activating a motor of an electric two-wheeler, comprising:

• a control unit that includes a memory, the control unit:
• detecting a first GPS signal that represents a position of the driver of the electric two-wheeler, the first GPS signal having a temporal dependence on a starting position;
• detecting a second GPS signal that represents a position of a virtual training partner, the second GPS signal having a temporal dependence on the starting position;
• and
• determining a distance between the position of the driver of the electric two-wheeler and the position of the virtual training partner, wherein:
• the control unit determines a slipstream effect as a function of the determined distance and a total front face that is formed by the electric two-wheeler and the driver;
• and
• the control unit generates a signal for activating the motor of the electric two-wheeler as a function of at least one of the slipstream effect and of the determined distance.
