GyroBike training wheel replacement

GyroBikeThe GyroBike may replace training wheels as we know them. The GyroBike attaches a gyroscope and a rotating flywheel to the front wheel of a bike. When a rider leans to one side, the flywheel causes the front wheel to turn into the direction of the fall, correctly shifting the weight of the rider and recovering balance.

According to the manufacturer, the GyroBike will actually train kids on how to ride a bike better than training wheels because GyroBike will actually teach kids about balance, unlike training wheels.

GyroBike will sell as an attachment to a bike for $39. The manufacturer is also in talks with the six largest manufacturers of kids’ bikes, so also expect to see bikes shipping with GyroBike.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    This would be great for my 8 year-old autistic daughter. She hates the training wheels but desperately wants to ride a bike.

    This product just knocked my socks off! For far too long my poor son could not ride without the assistance of those archaic training wheels! He was SO embarrassed. This company came to the rescue with actual MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY and saved him from being the dork of the neighborhood. He learned how to ride his bike sans training wheels in just 3 days utilizing the Gyrowheel. Great job Amazon for this amazing product… better yet… great job Gyobike the company for presenting it to the kids of the world!!!
