Description

Honda introduced the Gyro in Japan in 1982. In Japan, the Gyro name refers to Honda’s family of seven tilting three wheeled scooters.

This particular variation was developed and patented by George Wallis of G.L.Wallis & Son in Surbiton, Surrey in 1966. It was first marketed in the failed BSA Ariel 3 of 1970, then licensed to Honda.

Part of the collection of Harry Kraemer's rare 3 wheel vehicles.

There are 3 Honda Gyro motorcycles in the collection. There are a total of 8 Honda bikes in the collection.

This 1986 Gyro is pictured here with our 1886 Coventry Rotary Tandem. These two bikes are 100 years a part.

A similar bike was sold by Zoe Motors. In 1984 Zoe 500 made by Zoe Motors Inc. was offered. It had a 50cc 2 stroke oil injected motor. The same company also made a single seat car called a Zipper. The Zoe 500 has 3 wheels with a tilting or leaning main body. The Zoe 500 is basically a Honda Stream or Honda NV50MS, as far as we can tell it must have been licensed to the ZOE Motors Company.

Daihatsu also made a tilting scooter very similar to the Honda Gyro. It was called the Hallo.
