  • The scooter does balance by itself on grass (it dampens the movement). Sometimes it does start to oscillate as it is tuned to have the weight of a person on the platform.

    Gearbox backlash is not significant enough to cause problems. New riders notice it more but only for a few minutes as they get used to riding.

  • Nope. If anything fails I fall off. It hasn't happened yet.

  • sedatkabu, I made it :)

  • Any redundancy?

  • Instead of complicated computerized device, analog sensors can be used in much easier DIY manner. Is that your solution?
