Here is one of the most impressive robot bikes we have seem. The Ultra Mobile Vehicle from RAI Institute can bounce on one wheel and perform impressive flips. It uses a bunch of sensors to measure body acceleration and other data points. The robot can estimate its contact time, magnitude and direction of ground reaction forces. As the below video shows, UMV can jump onto a one meter table, do front flips and hop on its rear wheel. It is all done through reinforcement learning.

Ultra Mobile Vehicle Expands Mobility Repertoire
This robot comes with a carbon fiber frame, drive and jump actuators and a roll-cage. It weights only 23kg, so it can get off the ground to perform impressive jumps. When airborne, the robot tucks itself by lifting its lower portion.
