The Theory of Single Track Vehicles

Vit Novak

Our paper arose from the desire to physically build a single track vehicle that would solve drawbacks of classic designs, while keeping all their advantages. Bringing such large task to success requires a strategy and, most of all, a method. The paper is mostly about the strategy of separation of concerns. We separate the theory, the design aspects and the construction. Our method is in being explicit about decisions that we make, and recording every step of our calculations. This first paper, of three, examines all that can be known about the motion of a single wheel, in a hope that its properties would carry over to vehicles with two or more wheels in line
