Drive aid for assisting an operator when manual manoeuvring an electric motor vehicle, specifically a two-wheeled electric vehicle, - comprising an electric motor moving the motor vehicle, - comprising at least one first sensor, wherein the first sensor a) is arranged in the region of at least one defined engagement point of the motor vehicle, at which an operator holds the motor vehicle for manual manoeuvring; b) is designed to detect manual manoeuvring, i.e. the operator pulling and/or pushing the electric motor vehicle, and c) is also designed to distinguish pushing from pulling, and d) pulling and/or pushing in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of movement of at least one wheel (12, 32) is sensed, and - comprising a second sensor, specifically an occupancy sensor, which detects occupancy or non-occupancy of a vehicle seat, - wherein a controller is designed to actuate the electric motor depending on an activation state sensed by the first sensor, so that the electric motor generates an assisting torque driving the motor vehicle in order to assist with pulling and/or pushing the electric motor vehicle, - wherein the controller is designed to actuate the electric motor only when a force applied to the motor vehicle is detected by the first sensor and at the same time the occupancy sensor identifies non-occupancy of the vehicle seat, - so that the electric motor generates the assisting torque only when the occupancy sensor determines non-occupancy of the vehicle seat and at the same time a force applied to the motor vehicle is detected by the first sensor. - comprising an electric motor moving the motor vehicle, - comprising at least one first sensor, wherein the first sensor a) is arranged in the region of at least one defined engagement point of the motor vehicle, at which an operator holds the motor vehicle for manual manoeuvring; b) is designed to detect manual manoeuvring, i.e. the operator pulling and/or pushing the electric motor vehicle, and c) is also designed to distinguish pushing from pulling, and d) pulling and/or pushing in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of movement of at least one wheel (12, 32) is sensed, and a) is arranged in the region of at least one defined engagement point of the motor vehicle, at which an operator holds the motor vehicle for manual manoeuvring; b) is designed to detect manual manoeuvring, i.e. the operator pulling and/or pushing the electric motor vehicle, and c) is also designed to distinguish pushing from pulling, and d) pulling and/or pushing in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of movement of at least one wheel (12, 32) is sensed, and - comprising a second sensor, specifically an occupancy sensor, which detects occupancy or non-occupancy of a vehicle seat, - wherein a controller is designed to actuate the electric motor depending on an activation state sensed by the first sensor, so that the electric motor generates an assisting torque driving the motor vehicle in order to assist with pulling and/or pushing the electric motor vehicle, - wherein the controller is designed to actuate the electric motor only when a force applied to the motor vehicle is detected by the first sensor and at the same time the occupancy sensor identifies non-occupancy of the vehicle seat, - so that the electric motor generates the assisting torque only when the occupancy sensor determines non-occupancy of the vehicle seat and at the same time a force applied to the motor vehicle is detected by the first sensor.
