It can go up to 3 mph and has a battery life of one hour. Is that really beyond our legs capabilities? I apologize to the people of the future for making you so fat.

agreed #8, i was also thinking how much more comfortable it might be without the loud motor. i'm sure they are working on it, though.. i also agree with the others who have mentioned the laziness factor!

Unfortunate next step: Install plumbing and a place to hang toilet paper and a car magazine. Result: Men all over the world stop driving their cars to work :S

"This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel." - Ezekiel 1:16 (Oh, and Talking Heads too, of course..)

Damn it! those fat time travellers have been posing as angels again.

Quiet then yeah? Obviously what they were going for is compactness! Awesome technology

But come on people...

YES it is loud,
YES it is slow,

but it's the technology that matters. New ideas, inventions. Without such attempts, our world would not develop at this pace...

I was looking forward to the explanation of the balancing system but they only showed the two kinds of wheels, shame:)

"Let's go outside!"
Why were they walking?

What are you gonna use this thing for? It has no real practical purpose. Also they touch the ground quite often.

Some person invented this also in Europe (iirc Switzerland) but without the biblical two directional wheel (there was a reference to this wheel in the bible look it up). I'd imagine there is also has a gyroscope in the Honda one similar to the on mentioned. Also an accelerometer for steering. Good news is you can order the unicycle segway DIY kit for around $1500.
