Honda U3-X, a personal transportation alternative
Vehicles that have attempted to usurp Segway since we have seen a few, from the PUMA to the Winglet, although none has succeeded. In fact, we can not say that the Segway itself was a success.
The Honda U3-X is a twist to the same concept, but goes even a little further, since replacing the two wheels of the Segway for a number of balls, with which we can move forward and not just backward but in any direction using the same system as the other models, with the weight of our body.
Their balance system is based on the same as the Asimo, the humanoid robot, but we hope that is not the same stumbling this. It weighs almost 10 kilos including battery and offers a range of about an hour, ideal for short trips.
Although the system seems more comfortable in the world, we must recognize that at least is easy to store and transport, but have to solve the issue of autonomy and probably the speed. The 24th of October we will have more information from Honda U3-X, during the Tokyo Motor Show.
