An auto-extending stabilizer wheel system for a child's provides a circular aperture, enabling the mounting of the wheel on the bicycle's rear axle or an existing structural bolt. Within the gearbox, a servomotor is provided and any one of several stabilizing mechanisms, to determine whether the bicycle is excessively tilting. A turn detection mechanism and a speedometer are installed on the front forks, to provide data to the gearbox on the angle and speed of a turn. A memory device retains a mobile application which stores data on safe, acceptable ranges of motion at different speeds. If the degree of tilt reaches an unacceptable range of motion at any time, the servomotor extends the wheel to provide stabilization. If the degree of tilt remains within 50 percent of the acceptable range of motion for the same pre-determined period of time, the wheel is retracted by the servomotor.
