Title: How do RC bikes balance them selves? Post by: vinay on April 23, 2010, 08:54:51 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM27fujbiXs
How do they? Some kinda gyro? Some sweet deal! http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11455 Title: Re: How do RC bikes balance them selves?

Welll I suspect the are kept upright using any kind of gyro. The same principal of dynamic equilibrium used to ride real bikes should come in picture - Guess our Plane/Heli Tx would fit better than R/C Car Tx. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_dynamics Title: Re: How do RC bikes balance them selves? Post by: Bill on April 23, 2010, 01:58:14 PM There is no gyro in the bike. When you steer the bike thru the tx the rider shifts balance causing the bike to tilt & turn towards the side where the rider has shifted. The nikko rc bike is a starter and costs around 60USDollars

in the HC link if one see the description of bike, it is mentioned as "spider-gear gyro inside" to balance the bike. means some sort of gyro principle is used here.........

As long as they spin at the right RPM you would have the balance. Lower the RPM you would loose the gyro effect. That is why its hard to slowly ride a bike. So, I think these bikes would have a gyro to do things more than just normal riding.
I believe the following youtube video has been already posted but this should fit the context here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H98BgRzpOM -Ismail Title: Re: How do RC bikes balance them selves?
