Honda the REAL power of dream...

Honda's slogan "the power of dream" took another dimension this week in New York City when they introduced their new baby "the Honda U3-X Personal mobility device". Honda can today be considered as one of the top companies in new technologies.
The first Hybrid car wasn't released by Lexus, or Toyota with the Prius but by Honda with the Civic IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) but due to a bad communication, its competitors stole the show. Same thing for the self parking car...but it's not the point!
Now, The japanese company comes in the market with a totally new product, i think lazy people who hate walking (especially in Ghent!!!) will appreciate! but more than words, just take a look at this:

Well these unicycles have a top speed of 6 kmph and are not exactly as light as they seem in the video (22 pounds). Plus the max charge duration is 60 min. So it sure needs some tweaking...but the inclinometer and the traction drive system in this bike is pure genius. 
I LOVE HONDA!!!!
