The self-balancing bike
One of the big reasons people never experience the thrill of riding a motorcycle is the common fear of balancing. That centrifugal force just isn’t enough to qualm the nerves of would-be riders! That’s where designs like the GyroCycle come in.
This two-wheeled, self-balancing motorcycle can stay upright all by itself thanks to an internal gyroscopic balancing system. It makes it near impossible for users to fall over so they can concentrate on and enjoy the ride. You can even kick it or crash it and it will stay upright thanks to the internal gyroscopes!
Self-balancing motorcycles could open up a new market for new and old riders alike.
Those who are hopping on for the first time won’t have to learn how to balance such a heavy vehicle. Likewise, older riders often lack the strength to hold a motorcycle up. This has fueled much of the market for three-wheeled trikes. The GyroCycle would provide another alternative with a more traditional, two-wheel design.
