Two Wheeled, Self Balancing Gyro X vehicle from 1967 in action driving scenes
This video is about the most particular vehicle of the 2019 Concorso d Eleganza of Villa d Este in Italy. It s called GyroX and it s a 2wheeled prototype able to stay and drive perfectly balanced thanks to a gyroscope (55 cm in diameter) fitted in the front. The project was born in 1967, designed by Alex Tremulis and gyroscope specialist Tom Summers, with a budget of 750, 000 (about 6 million today) but it was soon abandoned due to Gyrocar Company s bankrupt, ran out of funds to perfect the product. After all these years, GyroX chassis had a complicated history, losing its gyroscope too, until it ended up in the hands of Lane Motor Museum in Nashville.
