I can't imagine batting down the M1 on one of those Honda U3-X Mono-Cycles... :lol:
It's very clever though.

I'm not sure, it's a bit Dalek-like. Flat floors only. Give me a saddle for Asimo, he'll go upstairs and off-road too! :lol:

When you said it was a Honda, but not quite a Maxi, I thought we were going to talk about the Integra again!!!

This is very clever - may or may not make more sense than the DN01, but I can't help thinking that this inbuilt system to keep it upright could be called 'balancing', and most humans have this already built in - its after all exactly how we ride bikes.

agree with the balance bit but can you ride a uni-cycle, I tried once for about 1/2 an hour then gave up

seems a bit lazy for an able bodied office user but has great potential if your a disabled user if it had some lumbar support I can see it being much better than a wheel chair.

I'd love to see this developed so it could be used in the streets especially a cobbled and pot hole riddled ones, or a muddy field at the end of a gravel drive.
