Two-wheelers are one of the most important and practical modes of transportation.

Two-
wheelers, such as bicycles and bikes, are found all over the world and are widely utilised for
transportation due to their light weight, affordability, ease of parking, and potential to
reduce traffic time.
In contrast to four-wheelers, a two-wheeler is bound to topple after being tilted beyond a
particular angle of tilt. Thus, the stabilisation of a two-wheeled vehicle is important in the
transportation system because it reduces the number of accidents caused by two-wheelers.
A two-wheeler can be balanced using one of three methods: balancing with a stabilising
wheel (Gyroscope Approach), balancing with rotating discs, or balancing with a flywheel.
Among two-wheelers, Bicycles are a global product and are present in every culture of the
world. They are extensively used for travelling, they are pollution free and easy to
manufacture. However, while riding a bicycle, stability is a major issue to be concerned
about. A system that can provide balancing assistance to a bicycle rider without affecting
the experience of riding a bicycle could be very beneficial especially to children. A system
like this might be used as a teaching tool as well as a physical therapeutic device.
Gyroscopes are highly stabilizing devices which are used as stabilizing systems in ships and
flight control of aircrafts. A two-wheeler can be balanced using one of three methods:
balancing with a stabilising wheel (Gyroscope Approach), balancing with rotating discs, or
balancing with a flywheel.
Gyroscopes can provide a significant contribution to the stabilisation of two-wheeled
vehicles, and gyroscopically stabilised vehicles would be safer than typical two-wheelers,
since gyroscopes are used in other stabilising systems such as ship stabilisers and aircraft in-
flight control. On the bicycle, the same idea applies. In this project, we used a gyroscope to
create a self-balancing two-wheeler.

The goal of this paper is to finalize the best possible method for building a self-balancing
two-wheeler prototype capable of balancing itself using a gyroscope and PID (Proportional
integral derivative) controller. The gyroscope will provide the necessary balance to the
bicycle at the time of tilt. The idea of a self-balancing bicycle can be further employed in the
manufacture of driverless and driver operated automated two-wheelers respectively, with a
high degree of road safety and road adhesion. Finally, this paper also covers the future
scope and future techniques in the field of self-balancing.
