Gyrowheel To Keep New Bike Riders Upright
|
|
The Gyrowheel has three speeds, with the highest speed being the most stable. At this speed the wheel is able to resist knocks and shoves even when it is stationary, and without a bicycle attached can travel upright, letting itself down gently when it stops. The gyroscope gives the bicycle high stability even at very slow speeds. As the novice rider gathers more confidence, the speed can be decreased, until the child is riding unaided. The Gyrowheel has been tested on over a hundred children, and all learned to ride very quickly without needing training wheels. Daniella Reichstetter, the CEO of Gyrobike, the Gyrowheel''s developer, explained that the old system of training wheels did nothing more than stop the child falling over, and could start the novice off with bad habits and riding techniques that had to be unlearned when the training wheels were removed. The wheel was originally intended to teach someone how to ride a unicycle, but Reichstetter and her team soon realized the device could be used equally well on a young child''s bicycle to help them learn more safely and quickly. The Gyrowheel took two years to develop and test, and Reichstetter said it was difficult to get a disk that could spin fast enough to create sufficient gyroscopic precession to stabilize the bicycle at the low speeds at which a learner tends to ride. The Gyrowheel was demonstrated at the Interbike International Trade Expo in Las Vegas in September. It will fit on any standard 12 inch child''s bicycle, and a 16 inch version is expected later. The Gyrowheel will be available from the Gyrobike website in plenty of time for Christmas, and will be available elsewhere during 2010. The price for the 12 inch is expected to be around $100.
