A gyrogroup, an algebraic structure that generalizes groups, is modeled on the bounded symmetric space of relativistically admissible velocities endowed with Einstein’s addition. Given a gyrogroup G, we offer a new way to construct a gyrogroup G• such that G• contains a gyro-isomorphic copy of G. We then prove that every strongly topological gyrogroup G can be embedded as a closed subgyrogroup of the path-connected and locally path-connected topological gyrogroup G•. We also study several properties shared by G and G•, including gyrocommutativity, first countability and metrizability. As an application of these results, we prove that being a quasitopological gyrogroup is equivalent to being a strongly topological gyrogroup in the class of normed gyrogroups.
