Abstract
A radio controlled bicycle incorporates flywheel technology in addition to a unique disposition of motors, gears and electronics provides superior stability and mobility during operation. A flywheel is disposed in the crankshaft area of the bike and is separately driven by an motor independent from the drive motor. The independent operation of the flywheel from the drive system of the bicycle provides increased stability at slower speeds and eliminates the need for complex transmission systems between the drive system motor and the flywheel. An action figure having movable joints is releasably attachable to the bike and provides realistic animation during the bike operation.
