STABILIZING SYSTEM FOR A MOTORCYCLE

摘要

A stabilizing system to assist holding a motorcycle in an upright position under at least some operating conditions includes first and second actuating systems. The first and second actuating systems are disposed on opposite sides of the motorcycle and are movable between raised and lowered positions. The actuating systems each have a wheel for contacting the ground when the actuating system is in the lowered position. In some arrangements, a sensor measures a position of the motorcycle and outputs a signal indicative of a position of the motorcycle. A controller is configured to operate at least one of the first and second actuating systems based upon the signal from the sensor. The actuating system systems are capable of pushing against the ground with sufficient force to inhibit further tilting of the motorcycle or to move the motorcycle toward the upright position.
