are gyroscopes also used on helicopters??

[roboman79]

no i do not think so.

[queenice1]

so da*n cool

[saleall]

how it balanced?

[roboman79]

gyroscope.

[natevplas]

I bet the legs are just dummy legs and a motor spins the back wheel directly. Still cool though. Does it have a gyroscope in there or what?

Hey jackjoe700... I'd like to see YOU ride that tiny little bicycle.

[menemenetekelpharsin]

If it can balance itself through slow to zero velocity, I suppose that making it travel at higher speed should not be problem. We all know that at higher speeds on a bike there is minimal balancing involved as compared to lower velocities.

[Jackjoe700]

Make that thing go 40 mph then I'm impressed

[JUKIO01]

make it do a wheelie and ill be impressed
