International audienceThis paper presents the various stages for the construction of a two wheeled riding simulator. Despite its simplicity, the particularity of this simulator comes from the possibility to reproduce most of the movements and the inertial effects allowing to perceive sensations close to reality cases. This simulator has been developed for three purposes: * as a training tool for new riders in normal traffic environment * sensibilization for dangerous riding situations (avoidance, emergency braking, failling, etc.) * to study riders behaviours in such situations Our studies have lead to an original 5 degrees of freedom (DOF) mechanical platform including a double haptic feedback on the handlebar. The choices of the platform movements and the system actuation are motivated and described. Also, a detailed kinematics and dynamics modeling will be presented. Some results are shown, validating the actutation requirements and platform control
