Building on the company's U3-X concept, the UNI-CUB is Honda's latest take on personal mobility. The UNI-CUB can most easily be described as a bar stool on wheels, or rather wheel, but the device is far more advanced than any seat at your local watering hole.
As a result, the UNI-CUB is well suited for most pedestrian environments, helped by the fact that the device's height puts the rider at eye level with those traveling on foot.
The UNI-CUB is limited to surfaces with a gradient of five degrees or lower, but the device's 3.7 mile range means you could conceivably use it for an entire work day. The UNI-CUB's merits as a daily mobility devices will be tested during a 10 month evaluation with Japan's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.
Honda has no official plans to put the UNI-CUB into production, but the device could just be a glimpse at the future of personal mobility.
