Abstract
In order to cope with the unprecedented aging society, senior citizens need to support themselves and maintain their health. Although there are many electric vehicles such as electric wheelchairs or senior cars, few of them maintain the health of senior citizen. They sometimes restrict senior citizen's sphere of activity. In this paper, a power assisted bicycle with supported wheels is developed with stabilizing control at low speed or crashing, and velocity control on slope.
