Abstract
This study focuses on the influence of tractive forces on the self-stability of a bicycle. The eigen-value analysis of the self-stability of a passive rider control linear bicycle model can be used to analyze the self-stability. A linear bicycle model with front and rear driving forces is developed. The influence of tractive forces on the self-stability is identified by using the developed model. A nonlinear multi-body bicycle model is used to confirm the results of the linear analysis.
