Veritasium made a video about how bicycles balance. He had a special bicycle made so the steering can be locked so it only turns in one direction, or locked so it doesn’t turn at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cNmUNHSBac
The conclusion of this video is that steering is the most important thing for balancing on a bicycle – essentially you steer to catch yourself as the bike tips in either direction, and bicycles can also steer to stay upright by themselves due to the geometry of the front wheel and steering position which leads in front of the pivot point.
With the steering locked, it’s impossible to balance for any length of time, even if you want to ride in a straight line.
But what about if we make a bike with two wheels that steer?
It seems like it would still steer and balance ok if the wheels rotated in opposite directions so they steer in the same direction, but what about if they rotated in the same direction so you could drift sideways – would you still be able to balance?

XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
