Watch out Segway! Honda's mobility vehicle coming soon

[GradyLorenzo]

the device itself? pointless.

the wheels? brilliant.

[MrDeepwoodtickles]

Why would you bother, walking is just as fast and keeps you fit.

[yuhface786]

how exaclty are you supposed to balence on that?

[ninjawafflexD]

this video is from 2009, why don't I have one of these yet? :C

[lifehackertips]

worthless if it doesn't support at least 300 lbs

[cbale2000]

Looks like they're trying REALLY hard not to fall off the things.

[emokidize]

I cant believe it the robots name is Awesome-O (south park)

[Norrlandskajen]

I cant wait for hovering boards! or does this already exist? i cant keep up :(

[MrJamboy4]

weird yet cool



[racesmurf]

What happened to good old walking?

[rlmorgan95]

We're gonna be so fat one day! Just like WALL-E

[ThisIsGrowingUp182]

Wow. Another way for people to sit down.

[onexlove9]

stupid



[drumfreakx]

Asian girl towards the end on the right is a complete dime piece.

[HerbySeas]

...but why?

[BigBananaMan]

It can clearly support light weight Asian girls but since it is essentially just walking, it's probably designed for the super lazy/fat people in Walmart. Wouldn't this be a safety concern if it goes up their ass when they sit on it or topples over because it's balanced like a candy apple? Interesting concept but I don't see it getting off the ground when the conventional forklift is still most effective.

[ICanHazCheezeBurger5]

They show but they dont sell it -.-

[Dadrummerdude]

why dont people just walk??

[tudis94]

@Dadrummerdude right? you probably can walk faster anyhow.

[infintitygamer]

@Dadrummerdude ask the person who made the wheel

[krakow10]

@Dadrummerdude C'mon, that's old. Why don't you just listen to the radio.

[Zingam]

The robot looks like he's got his ass operated on. Hemorrhoid?

[LuusHModz]

I Can't Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrHelp1998]

The perfect gift for your obese family members or friends!

[Zingam]

@MrHelp1998

They cannot fit on that. They need SUV.

[KingKook]

Obesity is caused by sitting on your fattening ass, gawking at the internet, and arguing over what causes obesity... What's that make me? A disgusting fat hypocrite!

[BahoUtot]

Guess the Americans would need the less than 30 kilogram version of this device.

[xREDxACEx]

we're all gonna be super morbidly obese with all this technology to help you move ... :/ we have legs for a reason.

[brndoil]

or you could just walk .............

[sebastianholmes94]

how the fuck do you turn around?

[TwistProductons]

what if it hits a bump...

[BleachDR]

other way to smash my face on the floor

[jhonjhonsonis117]

6 people live in the stone age



[frottoify]

this looks extremely uncomfortable and tiny --_--

[MrTylerTED]

We're getting closer and closer to becoming the blobs from WALL-E.

[TheSmackerlacker]

@MrTylerTED Lazy is good. Hard working people are ignorant. Why should I deny my biological imperative to conserve energy?

If there's something that needs to be done, sure, but working hard when you don't have too? That's stupid.

Obesity is not caused by inactivity. It just isn't. I've spend eight hours a day sitting in a chair for the last 18 years. I don't weigh 500 pounds.

[Chronictized420]

@TheSmackerlacker to be honest obesity is caused by most food served in america. the food is fattening, but its the fact that food that america serves tastes good, so it makes people con-jest more

[TheSmackerlacker]

@Chronictized420 Obesity is caused by an imbalance of certain key hormones, primarily insulin, but also testosterone and estrogen. That's why middle-aged people tend to get fat. Their hormone production drops, causing fat retention.

As for food, eating too many carbohydrates alters the way your body produces insulin, also causing fat retention.

People are fat not because fattening food tastes good, but because the most fattening foods are the ones the FDA recommends for weight loss. The rubes.

[tangles01]

@TheSmackerlacker Fat people are fat because they eat too much, I'm fat, I eat too much. Stop making excuses. Go for a jog fatty. I will too next week maybe? off to mcdonallds for now though.

[TheSmackerlacker]

@tangles01 That people become fat because they eat too much, is a common misconception. In reality, you eat too much because you are fat. Your body needs energy to stay alive. Maintaining body temperature, supplying blood to your extremities, it all takes energy. The bigger you are, the more energy it takes.

I'm not the expert, but I can point you to him. His name is Gary Taubes. You can find him right here on Youtube.

So take a minute, and learn everything you need to know about weight loss.

[iamcondescending]

@MrTylerTED that's a scary thought...

[Dragonmuphin]

THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!! I can't wait until they start making electric wheelchairs like this!!!! They're SOOO COMPACT!!!! One of my best friends has cerebral palsy, and whenever we go somewhere we have to take this rinky dinky huge-ass van that has a rusty elevator thing to strenuously lift her electric wheelchair (which weighs like 130 pounds ALONE) into the cabin... Imagine if they make an electric wheelchair out of this technology... she could ride on a NORMAL bus... :')

[LernerFTW]

So the chicks in the video, do they include in the buy as well?

[randomisrandom]

Laziest. Thing. Ever.

[khosrow]

plus it makes you look like a lazy idiot.

[SensoryWorks]

lol so i can run past them and jump kick off the wall and fly through a sea of unicycle riding asians in the very near future? I love bein a fitness freak.

[00pawan00]

but will it blend?



[keykikoo]

why do you have to put your hands in you ass ??

[supersonic123123]

are we killing the world? A: Heck yeah.

[xVSxTerminator]

a waste of money

[QuickdrawandKabong]

What happens if you sneeze?....

[dudewolflag21]

looks like a IT from southpark lol!

[MrNickynic]

put this wheel in a car, no more paralel parking

[mikasterken]

So... They pimped a unicycle ?

[millerdasavage]

@mikasterken LMFAO!

[joshy485]

Thats pretty lazy. Slackers lol

[elliments]

1 hour? what a fucking joke

[HidanReaper123]

oh no it's gonna be WALL-E all over again >.<

[HaloBalla]

What happens when you're going down hill and the power runs out?

[danielBarnweezy]

AND AMERICAN GET FATTER

[ROCKLOVER252]

I want one!!!

[uditmaniac]

segways are better!i know this even balances on side ward movement but in a segway at least you dont look so dumb

[TheQazbat]

they need to invent a way for this thing to sap its power out of the rider, you know, just so you dont get fat.

[InsanityHere]

Honda, you can come up with some amazing stuff. Why not add some performance to Accords and Civics. You know you can, and you can do it affordably. What the hell's holding you up?

[PantslessPenetration]

@InsanityHere

Because then they wouldn't be able to laugh at teenage boys when they add things like carbon fiber hoods and then think it's race prepared. x]

[Foverosiv]

so basically, a segway with holonomic wheels?

[mrgixxer100]

can u get 1 with a turbo?

[jm431]

and its even lazier and slower than walking!!

[petemk1966]

take it to PIMP MY RIDE- see what the boys could do with it.

[runepl000x]

lol trim this and come on the motorway with highest speed lol

[Imreadingthisaloud]

its a huge ball bearing without an outer race...

[PikaboYou]

i feel sorry for all the fat people they miss out on all the fun

[Smokemalboro]

ibelive thse r 4 the disableds

[mrgixxer100]

@Smokemalboro or stoners

[BedRocker1960]

Of course, a person could walk instead....

[we5leyz]

fucking badass

[ronnyrafoo]

@leocoverVLA a bike isint the same thing dipshit.

[Jorgeousdude]

and once again the wheel has been reinvented!

[SumthinMstBAvailable]

It does look like it'd get uncomfortable after 10 minutes

[SumthinMstBAvailable]

Only in Japan. God these people are amazing.

[VexDexter]

robots didnt survive the earthquacke in japan

[tomanyasses]

great but for small people under 150 lbs

[28880]

i bet there's only a size for 1 ft to 2.5ft :F

[SILEXon]

And than people got fat...

[rainiervandenberg]

It's an amazing piece of technology. But when people sit on it it looks as if they're about to take a crap. :D

[westcoastsurvival]

@rainiervandenberg maybe they should install a toilet seat lol

[pinkxpaperxdolls]

motorized unicycle? awesome

[Tytteboevsen]

Honda didn't invent that wheel. Its been around for quite some time. It's called the swedish wheel or an omnidirectional wheel....

[unclesara]

@Tytteboevsen Yes! It's a variant of a mecanum wheel. Invented by a Swedish inventor Bengt llon in 1973.

[SirrMortensen]

NOS when you fart

[Ikoris]

That looks so uncomfortable. I bet walking is less of a strain on your back. Look at the rider's posture. They need to redesign the seat.

[kare2comment]

aaaaannddddd queue the American fat jokes......

[kuledrumergie87]

The latest advancement in lazy

[ComedianAndFriends]

Some time in the last ten years, we entered the future and didn't even realize it.

[AYHASfilms]

@ComedianAndFriends but to much of our stuff is still old to make it look like the future

[animemaniachannel]

@ComedianAndFriends people never do...

[bagelboi66]

Think of the possibilities for these new technologies to give greater mobility to people with disabilities.

[Fluttershyz]

please... try making something more useful..

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

@Fluttershyz

"try making something more useful."

It actually looks very useful to me...

[sc00terMiTcH567]

there is already a honda mobility device! A CIVIC!

[LakeMonsterToMo]

No one will use this thing its slower than walking

[hillhead420]

1 hour battery life?? with the speed it has you wont be going very far and you'll end up carrying the fucking thing back home.

[ddandevil67]

my kids wont need to learn how to ride a bike

[vsuripa]

do you have the toilet-seat type?

[jasonlevin8]

looks like some shit for the fat ass people from wall-e

[burlin4life]

USA would be the first country to break it lol

[mitdafocas]

it has an invisible ergonomic structure for your back!

[TheLucifersrebirth]

hahahahaha oops my bad, still though:p

[TheLucifersrebirth]

Toyota s good at making stuff that they never sell.

[nickmcmahan]

@TheLucifersrebirth

but the interesting thing is that these things are produced by honda.

[sghost258]

this is how wall e started

[xHellstrikerx]

I think this thing is too uncomfortable to sit on it like this...

[TtimWh]

US will need heavy duty version

[redlights122]

If they could put those type of wheels on cars... so much easier to parallel park

[JohnF30Music]

FINALLY some real competition and market in mobility vehicles and robotics! Thank you!

[Zichir0]

WTF is this shit?

[aaronzack14]

and people wounder why were getting so lazy and gaining weight.

[alwesker1]

looks like they're taking a crap.

[turkeyman42]

This looks stupid as fuck

[BazzNewYork]

Why an able body person would want one?

[greene865]

wall-e is coming true

[theweirdthings]

this is how Wall'e started haha

[sim5191]

lazy man's pogo stick wtf

[lilwill3104]

The FUTURE Is Here!!!!

[MrBenlally]

Pour in fuel, flip on switch, calibrate weight, adjust seat, and start moving forward at a mile per hour.

Or walk.

[jamauln1]

I'd totally get one.

[Partylikeaturtle]

Seriously Japan makes the stupidest shit.

[bleugh4]

but will it blend?

[OMGKefKong]

NIck Barba?

Barba´s Son? xD

[JinMaker89]

Save americans kill japanese developers!

[manic42018]

ok so it works on shifting body wieght but most fat people dont even wanna know about there body wieght let alone know how to controll it............................­..........i wouldnt mind to see them try to sit on it tho cos it'll be like homer's speedo in the simpsons or it will just crush.

[xDontFaintx]

Haha yea.

With the Right price and the right modifications ( longer battery and what not..)

This clould be the new "bike"

.smaller than a bike

.lighter

.more mobile

.Nature friendly

.and possible faster and lets not forget... cooler xD

[xxDanielTM93xx]

Its gonna need a bigger weight support if you want to sell it in the U.S or Mexico the two fattest countries in the world BTW.

Seriously its like the fat cop in Reno911! who ordered Japanese utility belts and none of them fit even though they were adjustible.

[CaelestisPeste]

I looks really uncomfortable and might cause back injury.

[Flormau]

Eso le viene bien a L :D

[DancingGorons95]

That looks awesome!! Ima ride it to school!!! XD lol

[LeosRayne]

[Fredsbestreviews]

[zack9912000]

Too bad it wont hold most fat Americans.

[blakfloyd]

Can I get a job being one of these? Wouldn't mind having one of these cuties sit on me.

[bigdzzplace]

I'd rather walk...better for ya and no recharging!!!!

[philotaaveti]

"REINVENT THE WHEEL"

[xtruma]

geniusss...... great wheel invention....

[schoons27]

just in case we weren't lazy enough

[MRJOEKLONG1]

you know what im callin walle so he can give me rides 2 anywhere and he is solar powered so yeah

[ATSucks1]

When your too lazy to walk and still weigh under a ton TRY THIS ALTERNATIVE TO WALKING .

[msw823]

i wonder if it has a built in toilet? so instead of just looking like your moving while taking a crap...one can be moving while taking a crap :)

[killakidjr]

looks interesting

[yinyowhite]

cool for a kid's toy not for actual travel.

the position while sitting is akward

[misterintegra310H]

segways are WAAAAAAAAY FASTER!!!

[martinkaby]

haha thats so useless but so awesome :D

[calibris]

... Wall-e anyone?

[hilariousfilms]

This is stupid. Segway is better.

[InThaRow]

Nerd's have segways.

[Exoskull969]

[BergyBerg1103004]

@mtothem93 If they don't squish all of them first...

[BloodyPictures]

[InToonamIsLegacy]

[Zichir0]

@mtothem93 just like in Wall-E

[aj2361]

@mtothem93 you must not be from the usa to say something like that

[sn0w8litz]

@mtothem93

With those thin seats, will people be able to even sit on them without them breaking?

[MrKirihara21]

@mtothem93 i agree!!!! nyahahahahaha fat bastards
