Gyros (or motion sensors) in modern systems are used to detect attitude changes not resulting from user input, which are then fed back into the control system to make corrections. You don't need big gyros for this.

Well, fast spinning bike wheels do resist being moved in the other 2 axes which would be what, roll and yaw? Anyway and otherwise, why have vertical wheels? That thing would be a beast to ride on the ground. And they don't seem to aid in landing.
The whole idea is stupid.
