Flywheel energy storage systems have been used experimentally in vehicles before, although in some cases the gyroscopic effect generated by them has caused those vehicles to become unstable.

Thanks to a new prototype from Thrustcycle, self-stabilizing motorcycles could be cruising the streets in 2017. The GyroCycle keeps upright by using internal flywheels to create a gyroscopic effect.

Scientists have developed the world’s smallest optical gyroscope — device that helps vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional ...

The team built their own bicycle with extra wheels that rotated in the opposite direction to cancel out the gyroscopic effect and with a steering axis that’s behind the front wheel, and found that ...

Your correspondent writing about the pioneers of front-wheel drive in cars (Letters, June 22) omitted to stress that the inherent gyroscopic effect of a transverse mounted unit greatly assists ...

If a pedal bicycle did stay upright because of the gyroscopic effect then any novice getting on a bike could just push off and the bike – and the effect – would do the rest.
