… That is, unless you retire your old-timey, ridiculous looking unicycle in favor of this extremely awesome new-timey personal mobility device built by Honda.

It is a compact experimental device that fits comfortably between the riders legs, to provide free movement in all directions just as in human walking forward, backward, side-to-side, and diagonally.

So it’s a cross between a Segway and a unicycle—for either the uber-nerd, or the morbidly lazy. And that’s you, right?

  1. Wow! a thing you can sit on that allows you to travel just as fast as you walk! What will these vanguards of human innovation think of next? Who wouldn’t rather spend a couple thou on this than burn a few calories doing something as mundane as walking?

  2. See, it’s for the elderly or others with reduced mobility who could not otherwise walk as far as the range of this thing. Duh.

  3. Can you imagine an alien species landing on our planet and witnessing people using these devices and eating the foods we eat, living the way we live, that actually harm us, long term?
