Clunky training wheels that draw attention to new bike riders and pedal-less ‘balance bikes’ are a thing of the past. Now live on Kickstarter, Jyrobike is the world’s first auto balance bicycle and features a unique Control Hub with gyroscopic technology to literally balance itself as the child pedals like they would on any typical bike without the risk of falling over. With Jyrobike, kids will be able to learn to ride a bike in a single day without the fear and frustration of toppling over. In addition, special needs experts believe that Jyrobike may be able to help individuals with cognitive disorders, attention deficit, and proprioceptive or balance challenges experience the joy of riding a bike as well.

Jyrobike exceeded its initial funding goal of $100,000 USD on Kickstarter within a week and plans to announce stretch [url]goals shortly to continue the momentum. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/52 ... ce-bicycle[/url]

$100k in one week is insane, but I can see why! What a great project and nice presentation as well.
