Honda U3-X: It’s better than walking

We have a friend, who works for Honda, who pointed us to a video of their latest concept Personal Mobility Device (imagine that). Think of the U3-X like a mini Segway, or maybe a substitute for the unicycle you never learned to ride. You basically use it like you would a stool, and then with input from the shifts in your body weight, the U3-X rolls you around. Maybe it’s the new lazy man’s wheelchair? Whatever it is, I think I want to ride one…

This video review from Engadget gives you a good idea of what it looks like to ride the U3-X.

This demonstration video from Honda is a bit more, well weird. For a company making such revolutionary technology, you’d think they could have made a less cheesy promo video? However, you do get to see the rolling stool in action.

I couldn’t resist sharing some of the highly awkward press photos with you all. I think these two ladies are working together in an abandoned modern office building, or they may be the last two people on earth? At least they have a U3-X.

You can carry heavy boxes. I’m also assuming carrying things on the U3-X will lead to the even funnier bloopers video montage. Fingers crossed.
