A Jyrobike [1] (formerly known as Gyrobike [2]) is a bicycle with a special front wheel designed to make balancing easier. It was manufactured and sold by a company of the same name. The special front wheel contains a rotating flywheel driven by a rechargeable-battery-powered motor that spins at high RPMs like a gyroscope. This flywheel spins ...
rattleCAD is a parametric 2D computer-aided design (CAD) software specific for bicycle design, [1] [2] in particular for design bicycle frame, [3] [4] developed by the Austrian cyclist and programmer Manfred Rosenberger since 2008. [5] The application is written in the programming language Tcl using the Tk-based graphical user interface (GUI). [6]
Photograph of a physical implementation Detail of front end. A two-mass-skate bicycle (TMS) is a theoretical model created by a team of researchers at Cornell University, University of Wisconsin-Stout, and Delft University of Technology to show that it is neither sufficient nor necessary for a bike to have gyroscopic effects or positive trail to be self-stable.
The detangler, Gyro or rotor [1] is an invention for the freestyle BMX bicycle, allowing the handlebars to turn a complete 360° rotation without the brake cables getting tangled up. [2] A detangler is usually only used for the rear brake cable.
Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics falls under a branch of physics known as classical mechanics. Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration. The study of ...
Feb. 7—Efforts to update Manchester's Bicycle Master Plan are rolling along again. City planning board chair Bryce Kaw-uh sent a memo to aldermen last summer asking to hire a consultant to draft ...

Since the gyroscope allows the calculation of orientation and rotation, designers have incorporated them into modern technology. The integration of the gyroscope has allowed for more accurate recognition of movement within a 3D space than the previous lone accelerometer within a number of smartphones. Gyroscopes in consumer electronics are ...
