What will they think of next: Honda's U3-X unicycle

DateSaturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:33AM

You have got to see this one to believe it.

CNet News.com [http://news.cnet.com/8301-17912_3-10360718-72.html]



The folks at Honda have created a what they call the U3-X. Essentially, this is a stool with a unique directional wheel system that allows it to travel diagonally, as well as right, left, forward, and backward. I was one of those people that got caught up in the original Segway hype. (Remember how "it" was going to change the world.)

Maybe I'm a sucker for the next cool gadget, but this looks like a fairly miraculous feat of engineering. I look forward to giving this a test drive. If anyone knows how I might arrange for such a test, please let me know.
