Thrustcycle Enterprises LLC is excited to announce the debut of a new prototype of the GyroCycle, a revolutionary self-balancing electric motorcycle. Instead of leaning into a turn like you normally would, try to turn the wheel of the bike while leaning the opposite way.Thrustcycle Debuts New Prototype of Self-Balancing Motorcycle After you've ridden around for a bit, try a few turns. Ride around a bit and get comfortable on the bike. Find a bicycle and be sure to wear a helmet. Up for a challenge? Try to counteract the physical forces that account for the stability of bicycles and motorcycles in motion.Have fun seeing some cool bicycles and motorcycles up close! Discuss their stability and ask them to show you what types of technologies are used on their products to improve stability.

Talk with professional bicycle or motorcycle experts about their products.
Have you ever tried to balance a bicycle tire standing still? It can be very difficult. After years of research, they do understand some of the forces and physical properties at work.įor example, early scientists noticed that the moving wheels of bicycles created gyroscopic forces that led to stability when in motion. So scientists set about trying to figure out why that was the case. Scientists noticed long ago that motorcycles and bicycles tend to remain upright and steer in a straight line if they're moving forward fast enough. Scientists have been able to send a man to the Moon, but they still don't fully understand the complex mix of forces and physical properties that keep motorcycles and bicycles from falling over while they move!
It's one of those curious mysteries of science. We wish there was an easy answer, but unfortunately there's not. Why don't you still need the kickstand when you're in motion? What keeps a motorcycle or bicycle from falling over when it's in motion? What do you do when you start riding a motorcycle or bicycle, though? You put the kickstand up. Motorcycles and bicycles, on the other hand, would fall over without a kickstand. Of course, cars and trucks don't need kickstands! They have four tires that keep them flat on the ground at all times. We dare you to find a car or a truck with a kickstand. Have you ever noticed how motorcycles and bicycles have kickstands, but cars and trucks don't? Maybe you've never thought about it, but it's true! Just take a look around.
