"My son was repeatedly discouraged about not being able to ‘get going’ on his bike - to the point where he just didn’t want to try. When I told him about the Gyrowheel, not only was Tanner excited about riding, he was also excited to learn about the wheel’s cool technology. The special day arrived and after getting all geared up, with his favorite Stuffie (“Bobs”) hooked in for support, he rushed to turn it on. “Beep, beep, beep’, it went and his eyes widened with anticipation. I literally had to help him one time to get going. Then after a 30 second break and a seat adjustment, he started without telling me and took off on his own. What an amazing experience for all of us."
– Scott from Los Alamos, NM
"We tried the Gyrowheel for the second time today and it was a successful experience. My 4 1/2 year old daughter did great (and so did the Gyrowheel)!! I look forward to trying it with my second daughter next summer."
– Nicolas from Quebec, ON
"Just wanted to tell you I saw my 10 year old grandson who is physically challenged ride a bike today by himself without training wheels. This is something I never expected I might see. Thanks so much for this great technology."
– Kathryn, proud Grandma
"I wanted to give you followup on the Gyrowheel. My grandson who was using training wheels was on the bike and riding in 10-15 mins. He used the wheel twice and then went directly to riding a 20 inch bike. Three weeks later we got him a 24 inch mt bike with 21 gears. We rode a Rails to Trails trail in Va. and in 2 days we all rode 65 miles. We can not keep up with him! His dad is amazed and has told everyone about your wheel so you may be getting a lot of orders from NC. Thanks again for a great product."
Sincerely,
– Patricia, New Bern, NC
"Gyrowheel is fantastic! My son loves it and cant believe that how fun it is to ride his bike! well worth it! i would purchase again in a second!"
– Debbie from Sanford, ME
"It allowed our daughter to ride on two wheels and get off training wheels sooner. I'll never forget — after just a few minutes on her bike with the Gyrowheel she started to balance and she triumphantly explained 'Look, I'm doing it!'"
– Proud Dad, Somewhere in Colorado
“This is a truly amazing product. It performs exactly as promised. My four year old was up and riding on his own within five minutes. Now we can't get him off of his bike. Thanks so much!!”
– Mike D. from Hawaii
"As a pediatrician, dad and cyclist, I've been anxiously awaiting the day when my kids were able to ride a bike without training wheels. My daughter took several years of getting used to pedaling, steering and then several months of false starts on two wheels before she was able to ride independently. Her twin brothers were on the same track - a couple of years on training wheels and then a few discouraging attempts to ride on two wheels. When I heard about Gyrobike, I thought it might be just the thing to get them riding on their own. Ten minutes after getting on their bikes with a Gyrowheel, they were both smiling and riding on two wheels. Amazing.
"Gyrowheel makes sense from a developmental standpoint – it gives kids real-time feedback on balance and helps them make the right motion to correct. Different kids learn to balance at different ages, but like any other developmental milestone, practice makes perfect. Gyrowheel not only helps keep the bike upright, but teaches the child to react correctly to keep the bike balanced – it's essentially a perfect way to learn – instant feedback and a nudge in the right direction. The boys love their bikes with the "special wheel." We all can't wait to get out on our bikes together."
– Nelson Branco, MD
"Gyrowheel is so AWESOME! Abby is the perfect candidate for this type of innovation — a little timid, fearful — we finally got out on Saturday to give it a second try and she was riding all by herself instantly. She started doing loops and working on turning around. Thanks again!"
– Ritch, Proud Dad of Abby
"I have to admit, I held little hope that our daughter would be riding by herself after just an hour with Gyrowheel. Boy was I wrong. Gyrowheel is a terrific invention. Thanks for allowing us to be part of it."
– Gregory Frank, Father of Talia, Age 5
“Absolutely awesome concept. Right after Interbike last year (2008) they let me use a prototype Gyrowheel to teach my 4 year old to ride. I taught her to ride in 10 minutes – that’s right – 10 minutes! Gyrowheel made teaching her to ride soooo easy!”
– Andy Schwartz, Abby’s dad
“My opinion is kids don't learn on training wheels, they only pretend to ride. It's still a tricycle feel, but more dangerous. They don't really learn to ride until they can "steer correctly" and balance. The beauty of the Gyrowheel is that it acts like an invisible hand that helps kids get the feel of the relationship of balance and steering. I really think you guys are on to something."
– Peter Owens, Proud Parent
