Honda Gyro

The Honda Gyro is a family of small, three-wheeled motorcycles sold primarily in Japan, and often used for delivery or express service.

They resemble a scooter with a small hinged rear pod containing the engine and two drive wheels.

The first Stream was introduced in 1981, followed closely by three other personal transport versions, the Joy, Just, and Road Fox.

All were short-lived, but the cargo-oriented Gyro line begun in 1982 found a ready market, with all three variants still in production in 2015.

It has front and rear tie-down racks, small low-pressure tires combined with a limited slip differential for good performance on slick surfaces like snow and mud, and a "one push" parking brake.

[12][13] Honda's early marketing contains the Engrish acronym Great Your Recreation Original.

[20] It is equipped with an electric AC synchronous traction motor (designated EF13M) drawing from two removable Honda Mobile Power Pack lithium-ion batteries.

It is distinguished by a roof-type fairing and a rear cargo box that is attached to the tilting main body.

The front tire and brake are also enlarged to deal with this model's increased weight and slightly higher cargo platform.

The estimated range of the Gyro Canopy e: is 77 km (48 mi) at a steady 30 km/h (19 mph) speed.

It is a scooter-like single occupant vehicle with an automatic transmission and a "one push" parking brake.

It has a small hinged rear pod containing the 49 cc 2-stroke engine and two drive wheels powered through a limited slip differential.

The scooter-style plastic body panels are dispensed with, and instead the Road Fox has an exposed tube framework with rakish angles suggesting a beach-buggy/chopper look.
