Claim:
1. A method for driving stabilization of a motorized two-wheel vehicle in which two adjacently situated gyroscopes are present having axes of rotation which are parallel to each other, the gyroscopes rotating about their axes of rotation in directions opposite to each other, each of the gyroscopes being configured to be selectively tilted about a respective tilting axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the tilting axes of the two gyroscopes being parallel to each other, the method comprising: prior to detecting unstable driving behavior, orienting the axes of rotation substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the two-wheel vehicle; in response to detecting unstable driving behavior of the two-wheel vehicle, tilting the two gyroscopes about their respective tilting axis at a first angular velocity, the tilting directions being opposite to each other; and in response to detecting stabilization of the unstable driving behavior, subsequently tilting back the two gyroscopes about their respective tilting axis, at a second angular velocity, into their original orientation, wherein the first angular velocity is greater than the second angular velocity.
