A gyroscopic figure in accordance with the present invention includes a freely rotatable flywheel mounted within the figure such that the flywheel has a pre-determined orientation. A pinion gear is secured to the flywheel and a guide post is positioned a distance away from the pinion gear to form a channel therebetween. A flexible rack gear is then used to rapidly rotate the flywheel. The figure also includes a plurality of apertures. The figure may be used with a toy vehicle that includes a plurality of pegs positioned about the vehicle and sized to fit an aperture. As such when the figure is secured to the vehicle in a specific position and the flywheel is rotating, the rotating flywheel creates a gyroscopic effect that balances and stabilizes the vehicle such that the vehicle can be moved in a specific direction. In various embodiment of the present invention the vehicle may be a skateboard, a mountain board, a scooter a bicycle, or a car.
