Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The gyroscopic effect is the physical phenomenon produced by the rotation of the wheels that allows the motorcycle to remain stable and balanced. The strength of this effect is directly proportional to the speed at which the wheels rotate. At very low speeds, such as 15 kilometers per hour, the gyroscopic effect has much less influence on stability. Therefore, at low speeds, it is the driver themselves who must maintain balance through small movements of the handlebars and their body.
