    Self-balancing bicycle
    (UMT Lahore, 2023) Muhammad Faizan Akbar; Ahmad Shoaib
    Most bicycle accidents on roads occur due to loss of balance and control, resulting in severe injuries. It also makes the ride unsafe. A solution to this problem is to make the bicycle balance itself at various angles and velocities. In recent years, self-balancing in bicycles has been achieved through technologies like steering control, mass balancing, and Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) that are expensive as well as consume more energy. In this project, a reaction wheel technique is used to achieve self-balancing at different tilt angles and develop a better control. The reaction wheel technique uses less power and can be further improved to balance the bicycle at large tilt angles.
