Honda introduces Segway-like U3-X
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
In the leadup to the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, Honda has introduced the U3-X, its own sit-down take on Dean Kamen’s famous two-wheeled Segway.
The one-wheeled U3-X, dubbed by Honda as the “world’s smallest existing transport device”, can move in any direction by the rider simply shifting their weight in the direction they wish to go. The seamless, almost levitational, movement is made possible via a ring of small perpendicular wheels lining the outer edge of the main wheel.
The U3-X looks like an exciting development but only time will tell if mass adoption is a possibility.
Judge for yourself in the video below. What do you think?
