It never is really revealed why Gai joins Jetman.
However, if you want to go all Rob Ager theory on these writers, who may or may not be auteurs:
There are two girls he gets to hang out with, although Ako is 18. Ryu plays with Gai's balls after Gai knocks his cue into them.
He does after all hit on a police woman earlier in the episode.
(Unfortunately, it is the 1980s and Super Sentai appeals to mainly boys back then, as Gai chauvinistically forces a woman to talk to him, in which the police woman responds, "Do I look pretty?" before looking in a mirror.)
Heck, Ryu even asks Gai on a date in this episode.
Meanwhile, Kaori notes not wanting to do training, while saving the world, i.e. tying the tires climbing up the hill onto Raita. Ako adds to the mischievousness.
Game over.
The last shot is a pretty awesome one.
On a last a final note, quite ironically this episode ties into the one for the last one of the series. Gai says that all he wants to do is "take care of himself." Not for others. He later does the opposite, signaling the Shakespearean end for him.
