description: To ride a motorcycle properly requires the use of both hands to operate the front brake, throttle, and clutch lever, and both feet to operate the rear brake and shift lever. The rider’s feet have to be removed from the controls when riding at slow speeds, to help keep the bike balanced. This causes a major hazard as the rider has to then multitask by operating the bike safely and keeping it balanced, while also keeping a lookout on their surroundings. This motorcycle stabilization system was designed to help motorcycle riders stay balanced while coming to a stop or riding in traffic. The potential customer will be motorcycle riders of all riding levels with a focus toward older riders who have troubles with balance and new riders who are getting used to all the controls of the motorcycle. The specifications for the project are that the stabilization device must be able to attach to sport bikes without any modifications to the bike, the device must support up to 40lbs, the stabilizing legs must retract in under a second, and the legs must automatically deploy once the bike slows under 7mph. After determining the optimal solution out of three possibilities, detailed 3D designs of all the parts needed to create the device were created, and a list of all the manufactured parts as well as purchased parts was created.
