Honda develops new personal mobility device – the U3-X experimental vehicle
The enabling technology of the Honda U3-X - Honda's Omni Traction Drive System enables the wheel to roll both forward and sideways
Article Summary
A self-balancing unicycle experimental vehicle from Honda to be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show next month might just be history in the making. Weighing less than 10kg, the 24 by 12 by 6-inch U3-X experimental vehicle runs for an hour, is small enough to be carried onto an airplane as hand luggage, has a wheel which spins in two planes and is set to challenge, perhaps even change, society’s concept of personal mobility.
