Honda U3-X Suggests Future Mobility Involves Unicycle Segways

by Lee Bains on September 24, 2009 at 01:21 PM

Imagine our surprise when we saw, early this morning, that Engadget had posted evidence of this extreme transportational weirdness. Just when we thought that the world at large had come to some sort of consensus -- a peace accord, if you will -- and decided, once and for all, that the Segway was the most ridiculous, least useful, and dorkiest transportive innovation since the unicycle, Honda had to go and bring back the Segway -- in the form of a unicycle. (Now we know what the human race felt like when the gremlins came back in 'Gremlins 2.')

Dubbed the U3-X, this nerd-mobile will make its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show next month. Fortunately, as of right now, Honda has not reported any definite plans to introduce it to the marketplace. [From: Engadget]
