A handlebar linkage to control throttle in the turns would be wicked. Dual engines out back for an independent rear suspension. While you are that far, might as well run a bag for the seat and dual front disc brakes.

I guess if you are a hardcore long distance racer, you could install a colostomy setup in YOUR Gyro. I will take the pit stop. :wink:

I meant an air bag suspension system for the seat. Allowing better tuning for rider weight and riding conditions on the fly. You would replace the current shock setup with the bag and attach it to a subframe. The subframe would hold the independent system in the rear. The seat to subfame would only mover in and out, no pivot. If you need a visual, Youtube the mp3 and then put that front end in the rear of the gyro while adding two engines to it.

They are not being used on any current production scooters. Mostly on heavier applications. Have you ever followed a truck and read "air ride equipped" on the back or side of it? They have also broken into the custom cars market because they are cheaper and easier to install than hydraulics but if you want real hopping skills, stick with hydraulics. Air ride shocks are also available and have been used for decades. This is the same concept only they use a 'soft' bag to hold the air and act as the load bearing spring.

It does work, rear gyro swap in a moped and scooter, if you got big cash in a wallet.
