The "Jyrobike" contains a patented control hub in the front wheel that uses gyroscopic technology to keep riders upright, even when they tip or wobble. The technology is specifically aimed at 3-8 year olds who are learning to cycle.This would make a super starter activity to get students thinking about a number of different issues including:Protecting business ideas (patents)Factors determining the success of the JyrobikeInnovationPricingAnsoffProduct lifecycleand many, many more.......Business Gold in under 3 minutes!
