The Honda U3-X unicycle at the 2009 Tokyo Motorshow

This was the Honda stand in its full glory. Showing various blocks of it's advanced technology, and how they can see it all fitting together. The U3-X clips into the doors of the small electric car, for storage and re-charge.
While it looks like a unicycle, the actual "wheel" is made up of a number of rollers (Imagine a string of rubber sausages around a wheel rim). While the main wheel goes backwards and forwards, the rollers can go left and right to maintain balance.
It looked very well developed, and they were obviously very confident in it's ability.
