Description

  Motorcycle

  In the case of parking and stopping with a vehicle body independent of auxiliary wheels, several types are known as performing independent states by individual control of the left and right auxiliary wheels according to changes in the road surface, all of which are advanced control technology and considerable scale The driver does not give the driver a sense of incongruity due to the automatic control operation performed by the electronic circuit.

When the vehicle is parked and stopped by an auxiliary wheel, the right and left auxiliary wheels are not individually controlled, or the left and right auxiliary wheels are integrally connected. Many of them do not allow human operation while giving a sense of incongruity, so that there is a possibility that the vehicle will stand on its own or lean to the left or right while it is tilted according to the slope or undulation of the road surface.
