OK, so the flywheel needs to have spokes, and weighted on the outer rim.

The standard spokes are not strong enough to hold allot of weight like that, They tend stretch and the wheel will get all wallabbly.


What do you think? would this thing keep me headed in a straight line?
I'm about to call it quits on the python.

From what I understand it takes a while to get the hang of riding a python. The trike version is much more stable. Or adding a rubber block or something else to dampen the steer will also help.

Here is a link where they are using a gyro to stabilize a conventional bike. Looks like a great idea.

Would this principle apply to the python geometry? would a larger mass flywheel be required?
