Honda Gyro x technical specifications. Honda Gyro X: Japanese three-wheeled scooter (new). Specifications of Honda Gyro Canony

The Japanese scooter Honda Gyro X is a fairly fast, but extremely safe tricycle that is suitable for both experienced riders and beginners. Thanks to the automatic transmission and three wheels, almost any adult and even a teenager can drive it. Japanese scooters are very reliable, therefore, with proper careful handling, they do not require special maintenance. It is enough to follow the simplest instructions, and the scooter will serve you for many years.

All Japanese scooters of the “Gyro” series, by the way, produced since 1982, have a skewing mechanism, which consists of two parts: front and rear. The scooter body (the main front part), through a movable articulated base, rests on a rear bogie, consisting of a 50 cm³ gasoline engine and two rear wheels. When maneuvering, the rear trolley does not change its position relative to the road surface, and the main part of the scooter tilts towards the turn.

The three-wheeled scooter Honda Giro X is, first of all, high Japanese quality and practicality, comfort and functionality. Cost-effectiveness, stylish exterior, comfortable driving position and ease of operation, excellent stability while driving, the presence of a small front and spacious rear trunk, as well as many other advantages, make this compact scooter an equally effective vehicle in urban environments and in rural areas.

Companies that require prompt courier delivery are often keen to buy a new Honda Gyro X scooter. These companies include small cargo delivery companies: online stores, pizzerias, restaurants, cafes, sushi bars, etc. For an ordinary citizen, the price of a three-wheeled scooter without mileage is decent, but for a commercial organization it is quite acceptable. However, private buyers should not despair, because you can always buy such a used scooter.

Our online store sells new Honda Giro X scooters on order. After making an advance payment, the buyer will need 30-40 days of waiting. This is exactly how much we will need to deliver the scooter from Japan. For those who don’t want to wait, we can offer used tricycles of this model at a lower price, with our proprietary pre-sale preparation, during which all consumable parts are replaced with original new ones, including oils and operating fluids.

The single-seater Honda Gyro X 50 scooter will not disappoint its owner. The low-pressure rear wheels allow the scooter to be used on country dirt roads, not excluding the winter period. Having a scooter on three wheels in a village, in a country house or for a resident of a small village is very convenient and practical. The speed of 60 km/h, by the way, is limited to this value to increase safety, and two trunks allow you to quickly move short distances and transport light loads.

The multifunctional three-wheeled scooter Gyrop Canopy is presented by the Japanese manufacturer in two modifications with a roof - TA-01 with a two-stroke engine and a later version TA-03, equipped with a four-stroke liquid-cooled injection power unit. Both versions of scooters are classified as “fifty dollars” class, since the working volumes of their single-cylinder engines with a power of 5 hp, achieved at 6500 rpm, are equal to 49 cm³.

With a minimum cubic capacity, scooters with a total weight of 120 kg (without driver and cargo) are very playful and can accelerate to 60 km/h. However, this is not the maximum speed indicator of the Gyrop Canopy, since it is forcibly limited by electronics. Sufficient ground clearance of 17 cm and the maximum permissible load on the suspension provide the Japanese tricycle with confident movement not only in urban conditions, but also in rural areas.

, as a scooter with a roof is also called, is equipped with a spacious trunk, traditionally attached to the rear. Reliable drum brakes ensure driving safety. A roof over your head, a soft seat, a windshield with a car-type windshield wiper, rear-view mirrors, electric start, two headlights, turn signals - all this creates comfort while driving Japanese Honda scooters.

The Gyro Canopy scooter is perfect for transporting small loads or for delivering goods, for example, from an online store. The Honda three-wheeled scooter is a multi-purpose scooter. It has gained popularity due to its practicality, reliability, efficiency and durability, as well as the ability to operate it practically all year round. Therefore, these scooters are often purchased specifically for corporate purposes.

The reliability of Japanese scooters is legendary. A large number of buyers are consciously or subconsciously aimed at Japanese motorcycle equipment. But most of them were always upset and stopped from purchasing by one fact - the high price. A similar tricycle costs about $9,000, which is not very cheap. Therefore, enterprising businessmen import inexpensive used scooters from Japan and put them up for sale as used products.

Having carried out pre-sale preparation, which includes replacing the battery, tires, brake pads, air and fuel filters, spark plugs, variator belt and much more, including changing all operating fluids, that is, in fact, the seller is making a major overhaul of the scooter. After such “prevention”, for example, a ten-year-old used scooter is offered to be purchased for approximately $3,000 - three times cheaper than a new one.

Japanese Honda scooters

very ascetic in design and in their structure. European manufacturers are aimed at maximum manufacturability of similar equipment, and complex innovations, as is known, do not guarantee the reliability of proven technologies and significantly increase the cost of a scooter. A proven and time-tested rule: “The simpler, the more reliable!” votes for Honda Gyro Canopy. And repairs won’t be that expensive, but sooner or later everything has to be repaired, even Japanese scooters.

Review

Honda Canopy has a nondescript appearance. Behind the driver's seat there is a high-capacity trunk. The trunk is equipped with a convenient locking mechanism and a moisture protection function. You can easily fit medium bags inside.

The Canopy Combo scooter consumes only 2.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. This makes it possible to use the scooter throughout the year without fear of running out of fuel or lack of other resources.

Like other scooters from the Japanese manufacturer, this model also underwent tuning and modernization. Depending on the year of manufacture, they were equipped with TA-03, TA02 engines and their modifications. This entails a difference in some technical characteristics from the basic ones.

Honda Gyro Up 50: Japanese cargo scooter (with mileage)

The three-wheeled scooter Honda Gyro Up is designed for transporting small loads at any time of the year. The Japanese single-seater scooter is equipped with a reliable two-stroke single-cylinder engine. At a speed limit of 30 km/h, fuel consumption is only 1.95 liters per 100 km, and to increase traffic safety, its maximum speed (60 km/h) is electronically limited.

On roads with various types of surfaces, the Honda Driro Up has excellent stability, which is achieved thanks to two rear wheels with high-profile tires and low-pressure tires. This is also facilitated by a durable frame, energy-intensive shock absorbers, a front suspension with a lever fork and a rear suspension equipped with a pendulum, which is combined with the power unit.

The wide rear cargo area has limit rails and securing hooks, thanks to which the transported cargo is quickly and securely secured. It is also possible to firmly attach a closed plastic case to it. In addition to the rear luggage area, the Japanese cargo tricycle is equipped with a small front luggage rack, which, if desired, can be replaced with a spacious basket.

The compact cargo scooters Honda Gyro Ap 50 were produced in Japan from 1982 to 2008, so these days you can only buy them with mileage. However, you should not be upset, since the quality of Japanese assembly, operation exclusively on the roads of the Land of the Rising Sun and our proprietary pre-sale preparation guarantee the reliability of a used scooter for years to come.

Before being sent to the buyer, each used scooter undergoes thorough diagnostics and high-quality pre-sale preparation. The amount of preparatory work for each scooter is different and depends on the year of its manufacture, operational condition and mileage. All consumable parts and materials are guaranteed to be replaced with original new ones before the tricycle is sold.

A number of parts of a scooter-truck are subject to mandatory replacement: battery, tires and tyres, brake pads, spark plug, air and fuel filters, counterweights and variator belt, clutch plate, as well as operating fluids (motor and transmission oils, brake fluid).

We offer the sale of used Japanese scooters, the price of which depends on the condition of the equipment, year of manufacture and mileage.

Honda Gyro

- a family of compact three-wheeled scooters designed for one person. The main market is Japan, where scooters are used as courier transport.

This scooter is a three-wheeled vehicle equipped with a skew mechanism - the engine and rear wheels are located in the rear bogie, which rests relative to the road surface when in motion, while the rest of the body is suspended on a movable hinge and tilts towards the turn when maneuvering. This arrangement was developed and patented by George Wallis of GLWallis & Son in Surbiton, Surrey in 1966. The patent was first used in the production of the failed BSA Ariel 3 in 1970, then resold to Honda.

In total, Honda built seven models of this layout. The first of them is Stream

- was introduced in 1981.
the Joy
,
Just
and
Road Fox
models were produced - these were versions intended for use as personal transport.
Their production was relatively short-lived, but in 1982 the truck-oriented Gyro line was released, which included the Gyro X
,
Gyro Canopy
and
Gyro Up
. It fit well into its target audience, thanks to which all three models of the line were produced until recently.

It is noteworthy that for a long time all these models were produced with 49 cc two-stroke engines, unlike other Honda models equipped with four-stroke engines of similar displacement. This is due to the need for more power in scooters with engines up to 50 cc, which are allocated in a separate class in Japan (similarly in Russia). It wasn't until March 2008 that the Gyro X and Gyro Canopy began to be equipped with four-stroke engines, and the Gyro Up was discontinued.

Ural Gear-Up: an expensive toy from the past. Our test

I have never seen so many admiring glances and raised hands in greeting! In Moscow, a Ural with a stroller attracts such attention that even a self-propelled bathtub with strippers inside and bears playing on balalaikas would not receive. Why then doesn't anyone buy it?

It was born in Germany in the late 30s as the BMW R71. Shortly before the start of the war, it was completely copied by Soviet engineers at the Moscow Motorcycle Plant (MMZ), but as the Germans approached the capital, production was evacuated to Irbit, where the motorcycle, called M72, had already begun to be assembled in series.

The restored original BMW R71, in my opinion, looks no worse than the Urals (photo by Mikhail SHESTAKOV)

I remember Irbit motorcycles from school - one of these stood like an indestructible pedestal on the ground floor of a department store next to the grocery department and cost a whopping 1,800 rubles! Moreover, the Ural, unlike cars, was sold freely, without ten-year queues - a kind of socialist ersatz car for those who dared to dream of personal transport.

The good old air-cooled boxer engine has not changed fundamentally - except that it is equipped with an injection system and electronic ignition

After the collapse of the USSR, the Irbit plant went through difficult times: if once more than ten thousand people worked at the enterprise, now there are just over a hundred. But Urals are still produced! The power of the boxer engine has been increased from 36 to 41 hp, the fuel injection system is entirely Bosch and Delphi components, and there are also Sachs shock absorbers, Brembo disc brakes (all around, including the sidecar), Ducati Energia electronic ignition, Denso generator, Yuasa battery , Marzocchi steering damper (Bitubo is used on the 2018 model), NGK spark plugs and high-voltage wires, Herzog gears and shafts, SKF bearings...

• Sachs preload-adjustable shock absorbers are quite tight even in the most comfortable position • Steering damper in the Urals with the ability to change force? Yes, this is also a factory option

What is left of ours, Russian? Frame, sidecar body, engine crankcase, wheel rims and spokes, heavy “accessories” (footrests, gear shift and reverse feet), cardan shafts... It’s not surprising that such a Ural costs about 800 thousand rubles.

How's it going?

The ergonomics still come from pre-war Germany: the cylinders sticking out on the sides leave almost no legroom. The traction at the bottom is tractor-like: the motorcycle never got a tachometer, but the highest, that is, fourth, gear becomes operational already from 40 km/h. However, the engine still turns sour on the slightest inclines: it is difficult for it to carry a vehicle with a curb weight of 365 kg.

Variations of the Honda Gyro

Honda Gyro X

The first model of the Gyro line was presented to the public in October 1982. It was equipped with front and rear luggage areas.

Features of the cargo scooter

Today, the range of cargo scooters is not as wide as we would like; there are only a couple of models, and most of them are made in Japan. But if you want to buy an inexpensive scooter with heavy loads, take the Honda Gyro - it has a price that is much lower than a motorcycle with similar technical characteristics. There is also a certain classification of a cargo scooter; it can be either single or double. If you have big plans for a scooter in terms of transportation, choose the two-seater modification.

When choosing a cargo scooter, first of all, decide on your future cargo, because a scooter will not always be able to cope with its huge dimensions or weight. You can look at the photo of the Honda Gyro where you will see the small size of the cargo area. You can easily fit the bag in there and secure it with the support side handles on which you can stretch the rubber. And thanks to the presence of three wheels, the scooter can also transport cargo safely, even if the driver is an inexperienced driver.
