Self-balancing omnidirectional motorcycle spins, slides and glides

• arclein

British YouTuber James Bruton has plenty of experience with self-balancing technology and omnidirectional wheels, having already built a self-balancing bicycle using a sideways-mounted omni-wheel, as well as a heap of self-stabilizing robot projects. Indeed, this isn't even his first crack at an omnidirectional motorcycle, having released a video some seven months ago showing how he'd put a large Omni-Wheel at either end of a frame and successfully built a self-balancing electric moto. Well, the self-balancing part was successful, and he was able to turn it around and move side to side without issue, but it wasn't capable of moving forward or backward.
