A method for informing a driver of a single-track motor vehicle, having at least one electric motor for both driving and decelerating an axle of the motor vehicle via an electric motor service brake in which the service brake function on at least said axial is provided entirely by the electric motor, and a control unit for regulating the electric motor, the method comprising:
- continuously detecting a deceleration intention of the driver at the axle by way of a braking element, an acceleration intention of the driver at the axle by way of a throttle grip or gas pedal, and current operating parameters by way of a sensor system,
- comparing the detected deceleration intention and/or acceleration intention and/or the detected current operating parameters to limiting values stored in the control unit,
- informing the driver of the operating state of the electric motor service brake if one of the limiting values is reached and/or exceeded.
