Honda's latest motorcycle technology, Honda Riding Assists, helps to prevent the bike from falling over at low speeds. A drive by wire system operates the front steering fork, which also extends out at low speeds to alter the bike's trail length. By electronically turning the front wheel left or right, the bike maintains its upright balance.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!
Be honest, you were pretty proud of yourself when you thought up the sheet of paper example...
Ian Colquhoun Would like if only it weren't on 69 likes.
Unfortunately, he used a flexible, floppy coaster, and when demonstrating the "negative" trail behavior, he just moved the whole thing to the left and right, which is kinda "cheating", and fundamentally undermines the demonstration. As a result. I'm still unable to visualize exactly how the negative trail scenario works.
So we ignore that the bike follows you like a well trained dog and soly focus on the anti fall technology for elderly people?
OK
BEST PET EVER!
I wasnt born to follow.
i bet it uses the starter motor
The anti fall technology is the most complex and unique part of that system. My vacuum cleaner can do the rest.
well, because the whole reason it CAN follow you around is because it's balancing itself, while moving very very slow. I've ridden a few bikes in my day, and I'd have a hard time keeping that steady at that speed.
The fact it follows along is neat, but compared to the fact it doesn't need huge gyros to stay upright makes the following seem kinda pedestrian by comparison.
I love how you like all engineering, not just cars
3:13 when the bike went out it was like ''nope, nuh uh, too cold sarah...i wana go back inside''
Rotming
Hahaha :D
The last clip of him standing up and down again was amusing... Anyway, this technology is really really cool. Before she passed away, my mother's goal was to take me to school on a motorcycle because she had had a motorcycle in India and wanted one here in the US. However, she also had cancer and was going through chemotherapy, and was short and had lost a ton of weight, so she never was able to muster up the strength to do it. It would've been awesome if we had this technology :)
Ceazar Carr thanks for sharing a bit of her story! Pretty neat tech.
Ceazar Carr your mother raised a fine young man or woman god bless
John Kyon Thank you :)
the bike technology still wouldn't have been enough unless honda can cure cancer or make her walk. this just sounds like a story to tell people so you get sympathy. it sucks your mom had cancer but what you're saying doesn't even make sense. if she's in her final stage of cancer she doesn't even have the strength to sit up on a bed let alone a bike
She had the strength to stand, she just didn't have the strength to hold the bike upright. She was actually quite strong until she passed, and actually the day she died the morning went quite normally. I don't feel the need to explain this story and prove its truth to everyone on the internet, so I'm not going to say any more. And this isn't about curing cancer or making people walk, this is about how technology might let a dying woman cross something off her bucket list and have a happy moment
And another benefit, apparently we can now have a pet motorcycle!
Wonder how it would do with a passenger on the back???
I'm 51 and ride a GoldWing, I also have more steel in my back than bone, so I could definitely see how this could benefit someone like me! Thanks Mr EE, Excellent video :-)
Do topics like this just come to you and you hunt down the media for the video, or do companies mostly bring you stuff now and you just need to figure out what way to present the interesting tech?
The process of picking topics is pretty sporadic and unsophisticated. Usually just research things that sound interesting, and make the video regardless if there's media available or not. Honda happened to have a lot of b-roll for this to use. Don't have a great answer on topic selecting unfortunately, pretty random process haha.

+Engineering Explained I'm expecting the video on what makes the Scania's V8 engines to produce that marvelous V8 open pipe sound
ΑΡΗΣ ΚΟΡΝΑΡΑΚΗΣ It has to do with the the firing order, cylinder head design, and exhaust manifolds
Engineering Explained I recently had my car dyno tuned, the car is rated at 270kw at the flywheel but 216kw at the wheels, so now my car makes 277kw at the wheels so what's it at the flywheel?
You should get into motorcycles! I'd love to watch videos on the physics of counter steering and stuff.
Watch "A twist of the wrist"
Yeah, you should get into Motorcycles! They're more physics on two wheels to explain.
Thank You for this explanation on this tech. I'll be sharing this video when people ask me how it works.
Honda does it again 😉😉😉
No I mean that honda is such a good manufacture that they always create solutions to fix problems
true Honda is often the first in setting trends. cb 750, African twin all the first of their category
Perfect tech for the Goldwing.
this is how skynet starts
no this is how people are going to be fat in future .
Contrary to the automatic gearbox, this make sense. I'm 167cm high (5'6") and I have some problems with higher bikes. And I have a really bad right knee. Makes sense.
I've been riding for years. I never took the time to figure out why turn in changed on various bikes. Makes sense. Thanks.
If it weren't for that simple demonstration with the piece of paper, I would not have understood what your explanation was without watching the video 7 times in a row. Good stuff man. Love your videos.
I think this is a great idea not only for short riders or owners/riders of heavy bikes but for first time riders as well
this was actually like the best explanation of balancing on a bike i have seen
I love the simple explanation in all your videos - brilliant!
u cracked the tech that was good and u make it simple to understand........👏👏👏👏
After watching the video from 'Gears and Gasoline' about who Engineering Explained really is, you really get a great understanding of how and who he is, and this guy is magnificent. I highly suggest anyone who has had interest in him to watch the video. The title is "Getting to Know Engineering Explained." Great video, and I am sure it will change your perspective of this channel for the better. Thank you Jason for making these videos and teaching us, and learning all of the material and everything there is to know for us. I love this channel, and I hope it continues to grow!
You explained alot of motorcycle chassis concepts very well. You should consider doing more videos like this, the differences in motorcycle chassis designs are very interesting.
dude ......this video is so informative..... never taught of this.... i like it
Man....the heck with not falling over.....the thing drives itself! It's the knight rider of motorcycles!
Way to go Honda..Something to look forward too when I go buy another Bike. Thanks again..
Can it do tight radius U-turns? Seems like this would be extremely useful on massive bikes like the gold wing. Failure risk of "steer by wire" though.
3:14 bro did i just see the bike look both ways before crossing lmao
Really lovely to see that you are covering motorcycle tech :)
This is pretty epic. I suffer from bad knees, and sometimes it's just too painful to ride a geared motorcycle. I have a scooter now, as well as my R6 for the days when I can enjoy a ride out.
However, I probably wouldn't go for this riding assist tech for as long as my knees are able to, but for the few guys that are in my biking community that now ride trikes or not at all due to accidents, this could be very welcoming for them.
That is one of the coolest technologies I've seen. I want one.
Nice to see some bike-specific videos on your channel! If you feel like doing more of these in the future and you need a bit of a challenge, could you make a video on cornering ABS?
I want one.
Me too, I want one of this Honda
Would love it if you would do more motorcycle videos. Cornering forces, acceleration, braking, springs, geometry...
It's the coolest innovation I've seen in a while. It's great, there is a someone to explain it. Oh man, I can't wait to see the future!
Would be great for crawling through traffic, also glad to see a moto vid from this channel.
Jason, could you do a video on gear ratio? Like how it affects acceleration, top speed, fuel efficiency, etc.?
great explanation.... thank you very much. I was knowing the principle of this but didn't know it in deep.. thanks again... greatly explained
Dang! Cars and bikes! Thanks for the uploads.
This just makes riding a motorcycle a bit more practical and easy in some situations. I see no reason why it should looked down upon, just very cool engineering
Wow.. Very good explanation.. Never know about that pivot points things.. Thanks Jason !! It's been really long time. Where is your S2000 ??
It's hibernating bruh
if this just do wheelie in front of Girl .. then its done deal..
Ha HA! Truth.
You try and do a wheelie and the bike just says, "I'm sorry Dev. I'm afraid I can't do that".
but of course a dank one
Totally under-rated comment.
Great clear explanation as always. Thanks for sharing.
Will we ever see this on the road or for sale ? I ride a Harley but I know people this would help . And will it come in a cruiser ?
Fantastic feature given that many people do fall over when they are stopped, especially on big heavy cruisers.
Are regular bicycles negative or positive trail length?
What happens if a bike has 0 trail length?
I've known some people who loved to ride all the time but stopped going so often because it's physically tiring because of their age.
This technology would really help out.
Yeeeeet! Ive been waiting for you to do more videos on motorcycles. I think it would be awesome if you got more into how motorcycles work and how they are engineered in comparison to cars. Dope video!
How expensive is the system? Will it be in hondas standard production bikes any times soon? Or just afuture concept bike?
How does the software know what movement to make? You say there is no gyro, so there must be some other sensor. Is the weight\pressure on each side of the fork measured?
this was really cool, but how much weight does that add to the front? it'd probably upset it a bit right?
This could also help tremendously for moving slowly through traffic, lane splitting for example, with sport bikes that for anyone who has tried it, it is very difficult.
Love having breakfast while watching your videos. Makes me more informed about current technology!
I don't always comment but when i do its for a good reason! Thank you, good explanation!
Pretty cool tech, not sure it'd be worth the cost for the average rider. Thanks for the explanation!
So when you intentionally lean into a turn will it try to fight against you actually making it harder to ride?
Do you think that this feature would interfere with slow moving turns?
Have the bike following you while stroll across your housing complex is quite cool though.
Excellent video as usual. Thanks.
You talked about how this could be useful in a todays bike, but i find more interesting thinking how this can apply in the near future, when you design a vehicle from scratch with this technology. For example, an aerodynamic or an all weather motorcycle where the driver is fully covered, or modifying the seating position to something totally different from todays bike as you don't need your legs when you stop... possibilities are infinite!
Cool stuff! I'm pretty sure the honda bike has both gyroscope and accelerometer sensors, which after sensor-fusion, gives them a measurement for lean angle.
Hi , thanks for the wonderful videos. I don't understand how the computer sense de the the status of the bike in order to make corrections. You say they are not using gyroscopes (I guess of any kind ). Are they using other kind of aceleradora, or some sensor of other kind ? (Optical or radar or otherwise)
Nice to see you talking about bikes for a change :) There's a lot of topics that need a good engineering explain-ation. Preload, sag, rake, trail, brake-(anti)dive, BMW's suspension system, chain/belt/axle, squatting...lots of interesting nice-to-knows!
BTW. Might this be Honda's first step toward an autonomously driving bike? *shudders*
asphalt can get very hot in the summer. it's extremely beneficial not to rest your foot onto the hot road at a red light for examlple
I've known several people who have lost their legs either at war or in a riding accident, so a self stabilizing bike would be good for some with prosthetics as well. also no clutch, so either cvt, or more likely electric right?
nevermind, rewatched it and I see an exhaust, cvt it is
Tryhardninjaas they also have dual clutch automatics for bikes now
More motorcycle engineering explained, please!
On coolness level very cool. I see this as test bed for emerging get tech. and robotic assistance.
More motorcycle related content please
Finally. Some really ingenious, useful technology from Honda after the obsoleted 1980's vtec hype.
You should do a video about motorcycle drivetrains and compare Chain-Belt-Shaft-Other
I see the main benefit being the ability to compensate for wheelbase reduction under braking/fork compression, thus should improve stability in hard braking situations.
Hey Jason, is this your first motorcycle related content? If so please keep up with the good work and come up with more! BTW I'm sad to know that you moved to Idaho, no wonder I can no longer recognize the road from your recent videos, I've been hoping to meet you one day in PDX. Hope you're enjoying your new adventures in Idaho, if you ever come back to visit PDX I can provide my 2016 BMW M2 Manual for you to review and do a tech analysis! Sorry for the long reply because I don't know how to send private message on UA-cam...
Nicely done! Good explanations.
Imagine having your own pet Honda motorcycle following you around in you house... best buds lol
Her: YOU bought a motorcycle!?
Me: NO! I swear it just followed me home...
Yeah I'm pretty sure I definitely want my motorcycle to follow me around after I get off of it. That's the coolest thing ever!!!
woohoo EE doing motorbike stuff!!! I'd love to see more motorcycle stuff on here. I'm a bike guy as much as I'm a car guy and I'm sure many others out there are like me.
Could you explain what happens if there is a short in the system, what safeguards are there for the rider
Great explanation and really cool tech. Thanks!
is it strong enough to withstand the front brake forces? or a few minor crash?
very well explained
you had explained very good I am following your channel for 2 years...
I had one suggestion whatever you write use another people to write else writer clearly
thank you so much for clearing my basics of automotive concept.
As a motorcycle guy, I really enjoyed this one. =)
Autonomous vehicle technology hasn't really excited me so far but seeing the bike follow that person is really cool, IMO. It's the stuff of science fiction.
I was a motorcycle rider for about 20 years. But 18 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. One of the things that MS can do is essentially rob a person of their ability to balance. So now I require a walker simply to walk. There's no way I could balance a motorcycle once it stopped, so riding became "one of those things I can't do anymore" (the list of things where that is included is a very long one). If this bike were commercially available, I would own one in a heartbeat as I could finally enjoy an activity I had before, for so many years. Please Honda, bring this technology to the market!
@Engineering Explained can you do a video on synthetic oil quality brand vs brand? How about gasoline quality?
This is awesome for when you have a second person on the bike with you. Or you are in the driveway or a parking lot it is at a tricky angle
awesome but...
What happens to the ride by wire if the power is suddenly cut due to engine stall. Even if it is battery fed, the sudden drop in voltage slows down the reaction time.
explain how counter steering works!! that should get some views
How does this compare to the BMW bike that "will never crash"?
BMW showed just a vision. This here is actually engineering. It works. Now. Not in (maybe) 10 years.
... which doesn't exist to my knowledge, it's a promo video and a barely rolling electric design mockup, not an actual self balancing motorcycle.
Never crash ? no such thing, even cars crashes , everything that moves crashes..
I was mainly curious if BMW showed the technology behind their concept and if so was it the same technique as honda is doing.
Oh i didn't mean that this one is a mockup, this one seems close to production-ready. BMW has not shown a vehicle that self-balances, It's all 3D renders and video composites on the BMW promo video, and on BMW press conference, the mockup rolls in slowly, is propped up first by the model, then by a kick stand, which wouldn't have been necessary if it could at least balance itself. Nor have BMW lost a word on how they want to accomplish that. Chances are, they haven't actually even considered how they want to do that, but gyroscopic flywheel, shifting internal weights, and drive-by-wire steering are basically the only methods i can think of.
You mentioned the system doesn't involve gyroscopes; without using a gyroscope, how does the computer measure the uprightness of the bike and then alter the steering angle and the trail length accordingly??
Awesome tecnology!
In motorcycles and bicycles there are besides the mentioned caster effect also the so-called wheel flop and by turning front wheel the center of gravity of bike is rising or falling (if rake angle is not vertical). In case of negative trail the center of gravity is lowest if front fork is straightforward and by steering to the fall rider is raising little bit center of gravity and therefore resisting fall over even in stationary situation.
I can do those micro steering adjustments myself and without a negative pivot point. I even managed once to stay stopped on a red light without my foot on the ground and my wife as a pillion on the bike! She already knows how to stay very neutral on low speed manoeuvring :)
On a serious note, I really hope motorcycles don't follow the car trend of to much electronic assistance. It takes all the fun away...
Really good on these slippery roads, you can literally feel you are going to fall even in slow speed while turning
Can you do a short video(or just a comment) on the advantages of forward weight bias, if there are any? I'm aware of the reasons to have a 50/50 split or rearward bias, but I'm curious if there's ever a reason to purposely aim for a heavier front end, aside from just being lazy/cheap.
it would be fun to go for a walk with my motorcycle. I think it's a neat tech, it would fit well as an option on gold wings, or to have when riding with a passenger. I also have to give it to Honda for designing a concept bike that actually looks like a bike
Great looking bike too, and information
Soo is this pretty much power assisted countersteering? Or will it be inactive at traveling speeds?
wow, what tech to live in! love it!
Fantastic video as always! Would love to see more content from you about motorcycles as well as cars
When turning a motorcycle you counterstear, push right to go right, with the common positive trail length. Does this mean at low speed when this bike has negative trail length counterstearing will work in the opposite direction, push right to go left?
Also, what happens if the motorcycle transitions from negative to positive trail length as you speed up through a corner after you have been stopped?
