Honda U3-X Personal Mobility Device

Honda U3X

Honda’s U3-X is a compact experimental device that fits comfortably between the rider’s legs, to provide free movement in all directions. U3-X ‘s wheel looks like a regular large wheel, but the wheel is actually made up of several small wheels in a series. It weighs under 22 pounds, uses an electric motor, with a seat and foot rests that fold into the device for ride and carry. No word on availability but Honda is planning to show it off next month at Tokyo Motor Show 2009.

    Thing is.. Japanese girls are… light, how much can the U3-X support? Will it work for me too? Does the surface of the terrain have to be smooth?
    Do I have too many questions? hahahh
