Abstract
In this paper, the two-wheeled dynamically stabilized vehicle moved by human pedaling is proposed as a Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV). The basic mechanism of this new vehicle consists of the system of the stabilization control for an inverted pendulum and the pedaling torque by a human. This paper proposes the mechanical drive system and the electric drive system of the vehicle. It investigates the influence of the constant pedaling torque and variable one on the stabilization control of the vehicle through the numerical simulations. We confirmed the ride by the prototype vehicle.
