Gyro-cycle

The Gyro-Cycle was a a motorcycle like gadget that which used a huge ring as a wheel. It was purchased from the Smuggler by Ratchet for 5,000 bolts. Upon purchase, the Smuggler gave Ratchet a Mr. Zurkon. The Smuggler had previously bought it from a Lombax, believed to be Ratchet's Father, who modified the Gyro-Cycle with a terrathruster which allowed the user to cover more ground faster. Pressing X would engage the terrrathruster for a speed burst.

To begin using the Gyro-Cycle, it had to be activated from a Gyro Launcher. Once activated, the Gyro Launcher would catapult the Gyro-Cycle into the air. The Gyro-Cycle would automatically deactivate when Ratchet reached his desired destination.

Behind the scenes
The Gyro-Cycle was originally going to be a SIXAXIS controlled vehicle. However, after extensive testing, Insomniac found that the precision that they wanted for the Gyro-Cycle required the analog stick.
