COOL

Pffft. Honda. It looks so puny, perfect for the Japanese. But this is America!

Wait until GM makes one, you unpatriotic douches. It will weigh 12 tons, will be able to seat 18, tow 6 jetskis, and will come with 21 cup holders, STANDARD! and will only run on leaded gasoline.

Besides, this looks automatic. No real man can be seen on anything without a stick.

RUMSFELD!!!!!!!!! 

Cant wait for fat people to be riding these at walmart. They will look like they are hovering in mid air with the cycle hidden deep within their butts.

lol 

Seen this clip before. I think its from a movie called Tokyo Gore Police. 

^wow... what a dumb, blantantly fanboyish comment. 

Autoblog calls it "far more intriguing than a Segway" due largely to the Honda Omni Traction (HOT) drive system that allows the personal transporter to move forward, back, and left and right on a series of small wheels. fact that it doesn't require the user to stand up under their own power either. Fatty.

 

Just waiting for the vids of office combat featuring these.

This. 

You have to put your foot down to make it turn? What's the point?

While some brainy folks are spending time eradicating disease and making existence a little brighter for some, these small-dicked engineers at Honda are wasting resources by building idiotic contraptions that have no practical value whatsoever. I guess they got tired of creating robots that can hilariously fall down stairs. Classic Robot Fail

Just another example of "we make it 'cause we can." 

yes because all engineers are able to cure diseases...

Would you like some cheese to go with that whine, hippy? 

It seems mostly pointless.

Yes!! When they got up next to each other and pretended like they were going to fight, I felt like I was seeing the future. 

This thing is such bullshit! Has no one seen the Enicycle?

It's like this thing, but good. Honda should have funded that instead. 

Literally... a portable toilet. 

YEESH that's an irritating start-up noise at the beginning of the video. 

Don't you guys realize? This will give us all six pack abs! Using your core muscles to balance on that while you're driving around, it will be just like the hula chair!

how lame will you feel when it runs out of batteries in on you're way down the hall. 

It's like a rolly chair with less rolly. And no arms or back rests. Complete stool.

difference is the U3-X can go from side to side as well as forwards and back. plus it's not completely unstable like that thing you linked. 

I just have one question: WHY?

Totally agreed, that thing is a complete stool, a big steaming stool...

Why not? I think it's awesome. I know I could never build anything like it. 

Just showed this Micheline, our wheelchair bound receptionist. She said: "You fucking bipeds have so much time on your hands, fuck you" 

Sure. It will give me rock hard abs and all...but what will it do for my genitals?

She wants you.

Tell that bitch since she can't use her legs it's her who spends more time on her hands than us bipeds. 

what a waste of research. 

Nothing is wasted. Everything means something to someone. It's private industry anyway so who gives a fuck? You're not footing the bill. 

what an amazing quality video. 

I have just glimsed the future. A revolution is afoot!
A separate seat for each butt-cheek! 

why are they wasting their time and not curing cancer!

That's not their job. 

Should be. 

this will revolutionize the way that I inadvertently float away from my desk

"Sorry boss, you know, it's just these damned awesome things keep hovering me off to the break room, or the Starbucks, and, you know, shit happens." 

MAHOY! 

I remember about a million other cool things to debut from Honda that have still been working
out bugs for the last 15 years. 

That things sounds like a thousand shrieking banshees are are having their breasts cut off with a pair or pruning shears every time it moves... And for all that it doesn't even turn...
If they could change the sound it makes to this instead it would be much better:
