- vbezhenar 5y agoGyroscopic wheels allow you to have some time to balance, so you won't fall instantly but have few seconds to move your center of gravity. Try to balance on a bicycle which does not move. While it might be possible for experienced acrobat, it's much harder.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoBut when the bicycle is not moving, lost too is the ability to move your point of balance through steering. That alone explains how hard it is to balance when not moving. I do not believe the wheels spinning give you even a modest assistance in balancing.
