It may look a little precarious and uncomfortable to ride, but Honda believe their new ‘personal mobility’ device could one day be zipping up and down our streets.
The vehicle looks like a very modern unicycle and to ride it you simply lean your weight in the direction you want to go, whether that’s forward, backwards or even sideways. It maintains its own balance travelling up to 3.7MPH.
The U3-X, which was given a test-run by reporters in Japan today, was designed to be small, safe and unobtrusive enough to mingle with pedestrians or use indoors, according to Honda Motors.

I want one that is also a toilet. That way I can always sit on my ass.

It looks uncomfortable. It also reminds me of the movie “Wall-E” where the humans up in the space station for hundreds of years never walk on their own power and get really fat!

Yes, it does look like that. I thought the concept looked familiar.

This is a stupid idea for lazy fucks. Just what we need, more ridiculously expensive, essentially useless products from Japan.

I agree. I know that if anyone tried to use that on the street, they would be roadkill quickly.

Do you not like the new Honda whatchamacallit?

It does not even go as fast as one walks. One could not use it as a means of going to work or to make necessary purchases. It is useless but expensive, another status symbol for fat children.

A toy.
