Honda's Ride Assistant e Bkes
Honda's innovative Motorbike Riding Assist Technology, enabling motorcycles to autonomously maintain balance, whether occupied by a rider or not.
Navigating through congested streets during rush hour or when stuck in traffic jams can pose a significant challenge for cyclists, especially when maneuvering at slow speeds or trying to keep balance amidst gusty winds at stoplights. This can lead to rider fatigue, particularly on larger, heavier bikes. To address these challenges, Honda introduced the Honda Riding Assist system.
Traditionally, maintaining a motorcycle's balance required the use of cumbersome gyroscopic devices, which could alter the riding experience. However, Honda opted for a different approach. Instead of relying on gyroscopes, the motorcycle utilizes an innovative assistive mechanism inspired by robotics technology, similar to the one employed in their humanoid walking robots.
It's worth noting that this technology is still in its experimental phase and will likely undergo further refinement over time. The motorcycle featured in the video serves as a testing platform for this evolving system.
