Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2386103A] A device 10 for sensing rearward pitching of a vehicle 12 such as a motorbike is described. A rotation rate sensor 14 senses rotation of the vehicle 12 and passes an output 15 to a processor 16. The processor 16 includes a comparator 24 for comparing the sensed pitch of the vehicle 12 with a predetermined threshold value. If the sensed pitch exceeds this threshold, the processor 16 provides an output 26 to a control circuit 28 coupleable to the vehicle 12. The control circuit 28 is configured to at least reduce acceleration of the vehicle 12 to prevent over pitching of the vehicle 12. A display 42 provides a visual indicator of the pitch of the vehicle 12 on receiving a second output 40 from the processor 16.
