In the older version, shown in a video, the bike had arms that could reach out and hold the rider. The new version doesn’t have these arms anymore.”
The front wheel of the bike looks normal, even if it’s a bit bulky. But when you check the handlebars, they’re fixed in place, meaning they can’t turn the wheel the usual way.
How do you ride it? It’s a mystery. But the Motoroid 2 can balance itself, stand up without help, and even move on its own. With facial recognition and hand signals, the rider can ask the bike to follow them.
Some of these features were also on the first version of the Motoroid, introduced about six years ago. You can watch a video to see how this unique bike balances and moves.”

It’s unlikely Yamaha will sell this bike as a regular product. But they have made a real version that can balance by itself. They’ve spent time improving it into this second version, which is rare.
Details on Yamaha’s Self-Balancing Technology:
- Balancing with Gravity: Yamaha’s ‘Motoroid’ can adjust its balance by moving its battery pack either to the left or right.
- Stabilizing Mechanism: The electric actuator uses a pendulum system and small drive movements to ensure the bike remains stable when stationary, starting, or stopping.
- Ideal for Deliveries: One main use for bikes with this tech could be in the delivery industry, which often involves many short, slow trips.
- Handlebar Adjustments: Tiny adjustments in the handlebar angle, especially at speeds below 3mph, help keep the bike stable, similar to how we balance regular bikes when they’re not moving.
- Progress in Tech: Yamaha has tested this system on a YZF-R25. It’s a step towards making this technology available for regular bikes. The next goal is to make the stabilizing components smaller.
Yamaha has designed a unique and futuristic motorcycle that has some cool balancing features. The bike also has fixed handles and a cool-looking headlight. People can see it at the Japan Mobility Show 2023 starting October 26 month and Launch date is expected Q4 2024.
