This motorcycle won’t fall over! Yep, Honda created a motorcycle that you can sit on, even stopped, and you don’t need to stick a leg out to stay upright. Short fellas rejoice. How does it work? Surprisingly, there are no gyroscopes involved; it’s all done with a combination of steer-by-wire and an adjustable trail length. A bike’s trail length is the distance on the ground from the steering axis to the center of the tire. For high speed stability, you want a positive trail length; this means the tire wants to track straight at speed, much like driving a car. But at low speeds, this bike can actually shift the steering axis behind the tire center, creating a negative trail length. So now, thanks to steer-by-wire, when the front wheel pivots into the direction of a fall, the tire pushes the bike in the opposite direction, keeping it upright. Or, you can just walk, with the bike following upright behind you; that way there’s very little risk of falling off your bike!
