Abstract
This paper presents the study on the stability of compact bicycle. Recently the bicycles become being focused on transportation tool to solve environmental problem and traffic congestions in cities. In particularly the role of compact bicycles and folding bikes becomes important so that inter modal connection between bicycles and other public transportations for convenient and flexible traffic. However the compact bicycles are less stable than normal bicycles. In this study, the equations of motion of bicycle are led from Newton-Euler law and bicycle dynamics has been simulated using obtained equations
