My 'motorbike' is being weird.
This is a bit weird to explain, but I've been trying to make a motorbike which balances itself. I have a build that is simple enough and works for the most part. However the wheels clip through the ground, causing the frame to drag and when I get up to speed it tilts forward riding on the front wheel. At first I thought it was because the wheels were directly next to blocks on all sides, so I moved them and it still happens. Then I thought it might have been the balancing, so I removed that and it still happens.
Anyone know what the problem is? I'm not great at building things so I'm sure I did something the game doesn't like, but I have no idea what right now.

that's an intentional mechanic, it works as a built in suspension. Basically all wheels sink into the ground, how much exactly depends on the wheel, amount of wheels and weight. Since you probably only have 2 wheels, they sink into the ground with little weight

Ahhhh right I get it now. Thanks for the info.

I dont understand why they would add a motorbike cockpit and wheels and then make them unable to support even a little weight.

I don't understand why wheels need built in suspension either considering we have suspension parts. Making wheels clip into the ground is not a good mechanic, no matter how intentional it is.

Because otherwise having suspension would be a must for cars to be usable. Having perfectly solid cilinders as wheels feels really bad and has very little traction
