Honda's Answer To the Segway 247
lcreech writes with an excerpt from the Daily Mail's description of a new Segway-style one-person vehicle being shown off by Honda: "The vehicle looks like a very modern unicycle and to ride it you simply lean your weight in the direction you want to go, whether that's forward, backwards or even sideways. It maintains its own balance travelling up to 3.7MPH. Not very fast."

No handlebars. Less speed than a Segway. Lame.

Somehow, I am thinking that the people who would use this would not be capable of walking faster.

Knowing the japanese the way he is sitting on it is by design. Just unzip and go for ramming speed on the nearest female. And the top center picture is either a 'look no hands' or 'sorry, it slipped in by "mistake"'.

I think I'll just go back to riding around town on my goat. He's much faster.

So they saw the South Park [damianm.com] version and thought, "Not gay enough. Make the whole thing a penis." And then decided it was too gay and popped a whole through the side to insubstantially reduce the wang-iness.

Bicycles are far too hard on the environment. You have to mine the iron and aluminum ore and burn coal to process it. That not even counting the (imported) petroleum in the great grease, vulcanized rubber in the wheels, and poly-something-or-other foam in the seat.
Go for the original in environmentally friendly transportation - horses! And when your old model wears out, you can recycle it into glue and dog food!

The solution is to give in an AI, and give it the personality of a 2 or 3 year old toddler. Every couple blocks it will suddenly stop and scream "No! I don't want to go anymore! Carry me!". That way you'd get a nice mix of convenience and unplanned physical exercise.
