Abstract: 
Since its inception in 2001, self-balancing two-wheeled vehicles have been a topic that has been widely researched around the world. There are many different methods to maintain the balance of a two-wheeled vehicle. This article presents a study on the application of SimMechanics to investigate the engine of a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle model. Survey results show that when the engine rotates steadily, it will not be able to create torque to help the vehicle balance. At the same time, the voltage (when the torque is largest) and speed (when the engine rotates stably) of the engine have a linear relationship.
