A method for operating a drive unit of an electric bicycle is disclosed. The method includes determining a temporary actual torque curve of a driver torque generated by a muscle force of a driver of the electric bicycle. The method further includes estimating a future torque curve by extrapolating the determined actual torque curve. In addition, the method includes determining whether the estimated future torque curve falls below a predetermined first torque threshold within a predetermined first time frame. The method also includes controlled reduction of a motor torque generated by way of the drive unit when the estimated future torque curve within the first time frame falls below the first torque threshold.
