For those of you who are yapping about lack of walking, there are some of us who are unable, for various reasons, who are unable to walk any distance. These reasons are physical problems not caused by being lazy or fat, so just try to stop judging a little.
I hope Honda makes this sturdy enough to carry all least 1000 lb, because that's how heavy people will get if they ride this instead of walking. Maybe they should develop a some sort of exercise machine with this technology instead of a sit on your a** machine to move. Can Asimo push a wheelchair?
For a nation so obsessed with making impractical robots to help the elderly they obviously have never asked any elderly person what they actually think.
You really think some old pensioner will have the physical coordination and balance to stay on this thing. They could easily break bones or worse if they ever fell off.
Seriously, if you need a wheelchair, like the elderly or infirm, you likely don't have the balance to use this device. Even Mr. President had to put his foot down once to regain control.
I couldn't careless if this is practical... because it's still fucking awesome! Look at how smooth that thing is! I want one just so I can scoot around my house.
Ok, reality check time. It weighs 'just' 22 lbs. How many 75 year olds are going to be carrying a 22 lb object with them into the grocery store; or anywhere else for that matter?
Even if you were able to deal with the weight., you're going to drag this thing through the store with you, or up escalators or...? I'm thinking not. 'FUN" idea, not at all practical for the elderly, imho.
i'm sure an old person or someone who is badly injured would not want to sit on that uncomfortable looking pole for more than a minute. howabout an old fashoined wheel chair.
I urge people to stop ridiculing this great machine and try too see its potential for people with disability e.g. our soldiers who have lost their limbs or those suffrered from traumatic paraplegia.
feeling lazy lately? Does your ass needs to be carried around because it's too big? well here is the solution for you!!! this apparatus will make your chunky ass chunkier in no time :D
Not bad for a prototype. I'm waiting for better batteries for 30 km range and fast recharging, improved riding posture (including not having to hold on to the seat), and higher top speeds, say 25 km/h. Something like average bicycle speeds and ranges, but hands-free.
This one would also be interesting if made into to an office chair.
The technology that we are coming out with these days is insane, it started with the simple wheel and now look at us, electronicly Run, Wheel inside a wheel, Sensors moving us in the direction by weight placement,
What an invention, I hope they put these out on the market cause I would pay like $3000 for one of these bad boys for sure.

@Asiats1 pretty lame way of thinking if you ask me, that is like saying:

Bugatti Veyron = 430Km/h
Yep, I know which one to get! ;-)"
The U3X is way more practical than the Segway

The good thing about this is it's compactness and usability.
It could also be used by people who have lost thier legs to IEDs, or to complement if not completely replace prosthetics.
