Check out the new Gyrowheel!

The Gyrowheel is great for parents of 4-6 year olds that are too tall for a balance bike but are not yet riding a pedal bike. It provides stability so the bike won’t fall over giving a child the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike correctly. Gyrowheel senses unbalanced biking and re-centers the bike under the rider’s weight when the bike starts to wobble. Training wheels can’t do that!
Inside the Gyrowheel is a disk that spins independently of Gyrowheel. When the disk is turned on it creates a force — the fancy term is “gyroscopic precession” — that stabilizes the bike.
The Gyrowheel replaces the front wheel on most standard 12 and 16 inch bikes. Rechargeable batteries keep the Gyrowheel powered up and when turned off, it acts like a regular front wheel. As the rider’s skill improves, you can adjust the stability settings.
To see a demo of the Gyrowheel, check out this video:
We’ll have the Gyrowheel with us at the next Sunday Parkways so stop by to see it in action! To purchase one today, visit Tikes Bikes! Our first customer to use the Gyrowheel said, “My son has been on a balance bike since he was two but struggled with the transition to a regular pedal bike because he never learned to pedal. The GyroWheel was the perfect solution! It allowed him to focus on pedaling and braking instead of balancing. This would make a GREAT family gift to be passed from grandchild to grandchild, sibling to sibling. Or a super neighborhood investment to be shared at the summer BBQ’s! A MUST HAVE!“
