Abstract
Two wheelers are cheap and most efficient way of transportation; however, it still requires a rider (human) to balance a vehicle at low speeds and traffic conditions to complete the process of moving from point to point. Although a bike is a relative advantage, it still possesses a greater threat in form of accidents. Newspapers in daily basis report such motorcycle accident like skidding to be a major spoiler of a much-enjoyed mode of travel. It requires great deal of physical strength. Consider an aged person who is suffering from diabetes requires heavy relaxation for a duration after prolonged riding, thereby causing a great deal of fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to bring about modifications to the existing vehicle because they make the riding a lot safer under low speed travel on dry sand surfaces which are common on Indian roads. The motorcycle by itself is self-balancing using their side legs at low speeds and traffics thereby facing many problems like joint pain, fracture, in the worst cases even ligament fracture, etc. The end result is about bringing up the supporting wheel concept on two wheelers is that the two-wheeler would balance itself and can be stabilized against any impact as well as zero velocity equally. Increased maintenance as well as the reduction in fuel economy in four wheels are on the ground all the time and also increases confidence in riding the vehicle entirely for a long period of time. Also, it would not demand much of leg reflexes to act upon the road or the brake foot pedal.
