This is called the Honda U3-X, a concept “personal mobility device.” The device is being controlled by how you balance yourself while riding this U3-X. To adjust as to its speed, turning and stopping in all directions, the rider has to lean his upper body to shift the body weight. The difference with the Segway is, on the Segway the driver stands as he rides but on the U3-X, the driver actually sits on it. It is about 2 feet tall, 22 lbs and runs on a lithium ion battery. Operation time is one hour on a fully charged battery. This Honda U3-X will be unveiled at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show this coming October 24, 2009 in Japan.credit: autos.aol.com
