Strzeletz, R.: Speed drop during a Motorcycle Stoppie
We present an analytical approach by means of which the speed drop during a ‘stoppie’ can be computed numerically. This approach is checked by the evaluation of video footage from motorcycle braking tests. It turns out that the time interval up to the final pitchover is about 0.4 – 0.7 s and that the initial deceleration must be about 11 – 13 m/s2, depending on the geometry of the motorcycle. This results in a speed drop of about 5 – 10 m/s during a stoppie, which may not be neglected when calculating the initial speed.
