The method involves computing skew angles of a single-track vehicle (4) from measurement values of measuring axes (x, y) of an acceleration sensor (1). One of the measuring axes is aligned at an angle of 45 degrees non-parallel to a vertical axis (H) of the vehicle, and magnitude of resulting acceleration from gravitational acceleration and centrifugal acceleration is determined from the measurement values. The measuring axis is aligned vertical to a longitudinal axis (L) of the vehicle. The measuring axes are not aligned parallel to each other. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a single-track vehicle comprising an acceleration sensor (2) a device for determination of a skew angle of a single-track vehicle.
