Mopeds — Measurement method for location of centre of gravity

Concerns the stability of a moped as an important element of the active safety. The determination of the kinetic characteristics of the moped/rider combination is to be considered an important part of the design parameters of the vehicle itself. The test procedure described in ISO 8705 deals with one aspect of the kinetic characteristics (the determination of the centre of gravity). Other measuring methods can be used if it is demonstrated that their results are equivalent. Annex A gives a format for measurement results.
