A method for adjusting a motor torque of an electric two-wheeled vehicle, including the following steps: reading in a driver assistance profile which represents a dependency of the motor torque on a pedaling action of the driver, determining at least one predefined range in the driver assistance profile, the range having at least one nonconstant change within the driver assistance profile, in particular in the slope of the driver assistance profile, and ascertaining a future speed of the electric two-wheeled vehicle as a function of an instantaneous speed of the electric two-wheel vehicle and a pedaling action of the driver. The motor torque is changed, in particular decreased or increased, as a function of the pedaling action of the driver, deviating from the driver assistance profile, based on a check as to whether the future speed of the electric two-wheeled vehicle is within the predefined range.
