What is a "gyrocar"?
A gyrocar is an early type of vehicle that uses a rotating mechanism to maintain balance, keeping it upright while in motion. It typically has two wheels, with the spinning wheels providing stability, similar to how a bicycle stays balanced when it moves. The design of the gyrocar was an experimental effort to create a self-balancing vehicle. While it never became common, it showcased an innovative approach to transportation.
Examples
