Abstract
A method for detecting wear on at least one component of an electric bicycle, includes: monitoring the operating condition of the at least one component with the aid of at least one sensor; detecting the stress on the component over the duration of operation; and displaying the need for service on a display unit as soon as a long-term load threshold defined for this component is reached, to inform the cyclist promptly of the need for service.

A method for detecting wear on at least one component of an electric bicycle, comprising:
- monitoring an operating condition of the at least one component of the bicycle with the aid of at least one sensor;
- detecting a stress on the component based on an operating time of the at least one component;
- and
- displaying on a display unit a need for service as soon as a long-term load threshold defined for the at least one component is reached.
A device for detecting wear on at least one component of an electric bicycle, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to (i) monitor an operating condition of the at least one component of the bicycle with the aid of at least one sensor and (ii) detect a stress on the component based on an operating time of the at least one component;
- an evaluation unit having at least one memory, wherein the evaluation unit is configured to evaluate a sensor signal from the at least one sensor;
- and
- at least one display unit configured to display a need for service as soon as the evaluation unit determines a long-term load threshold defined for the at least one component has been reached.
