Teach your child how to cycle in a afternoon with the Jyrobike, an auto-balancing bicycle powered by a rechargeable battery.

Developed by a team of engineers from Philadelphia, the product contains a patented control hub in the front wheel that uses gyroscopic technology to keep riders upright, even when they tip or wobble.

Aimed at 3-8 year olds who are learning to cycle, Jyrobike has launched a campaign on crowdfunding site Kickstarter to try and take the project beyond prototype stage.
