A method for operating a vehicle operable by motor power and/or pedal power, in particular, an electric bicycle. The vehicle includes an electric drive, a crank mechanism, at least one torque sensor, which is configured to detect a torque applied by a rider onto the crank mechanism, in the form of a multitude of torque measuring signals, and a control unit, which is configured to generate a control signal for activating the electric drive as a function of at least one of the torque measuring signals. Upon detection of an error regarding the torque sensor, the control signal is generated in the form of a substitute control signal, based on at least one of the torque measuring signals, when this at least one torque measuring signal is recognized as plausible. A vehicle operable by motor power and/or pedal power, in particular, an electric bicycle, is also described.
