Brakes can be assigned to different sides of the bike depending on which country you're in. There is a theory that it's also related to which side of the road people drive on.

It's also usually fairly easy to switch them around, if the rider so prefers.

Mainland Europe tends to use the left for the front, and UK the other way around.

What are the parts to a mongoose gyro?

A mongoose gyro typically consists of several key components: the gyro hub, which holds the wheel and allows for rotation; the gyro plates, which are mounted on either side of the hub and attach to the handlebars; and the cables that connect to the brake system, allowing for brake activation while maintaining free rotation of the handlebars. Some gyros also include a spring mechanism for smooth operation. Together, these parts enable tricks and maneuvers by allowing the rider to turn the handlebars without affecting the bike's front wheel.
