Note that near the end of that video he says:
> But amazingly, even for a riderless bike science currently doesn't what it IS about the special combinations of variables that enables a bike to stay up on its own. We just know that some combinations work and others don't.
- rtkwe 3y agoThere have been studies characterizing it more since then both analytically and quantatatively. There have been model bikes built with counter rotating weights to eliminate the gyroscopic effect and it still works. Part of the complexity is they all work together so the parameter space is complex. People have isolated the effect of things like the head angle though or the gyroscopic effect.
