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.

Here is a video of it in action

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 currently 3 Honda Gyro in the collection. There are 2 1984 (a red one and a blue one). There is a red 1986 in the collection.

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.

Here is an interesting 2 wheel car (a Gyro X at the Lane Motor Museum) that carries the Gyro name. Not a 3 wheeler, just a very interesting concept.
