I just hope it does not run Windows.

A whole new meaning to the term "crash".

"Yeah, my u3-X crashed, can you do me a favour and help me pick-up my teeth off the pavement. cheers"

I love how the seats come in different cup sizes.

I'll take a double D please.

Looks cool but the two women demonstrating this are clearly looking very tensed and quite uncomfortable when riding this thing. You can just feel that they're not trusting it :)

Wonder what would happen with people that aren't size 0 as well.

Why?
For disabled people?

One for each butt cheek.

I don't even have a butt. Basically it's just a long back that ends with a crack. Sorry for the visual. :)

I call it my lower back, upper thigh area. *lol*

+1 on Honda for finding a new and creative way to be lazy.

I'll sustain your thoughts. :cool:

I wanna see that sucker on a quarter-pipe.

And people using it to produce extreme videos on youtube breaking parts of their body.

Highly amusing.

Another use would be the 180 on the highway to bring the hood mounted twin .50s to bear on the tailgater...:eek:

Neat idea ... I can't wait to see how somebody cleans this wheel from fur or hair :)
As for support for those who were injured in accidents etc - great product. For the rest of us - It will make us fat as pigs :)

Not our fault we have more liberties and food than your people... for now.

But I do agree, it's just another invention to make people more lazy and fat... all over the world, not just in the US. After all, it was invented by a JAPANESE company, not an American company. ;)

Honda probably has patents on those wheels, but I wonder if this would count as prior art:

"As I kept seeing the living creatures, why, look! there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, by the four faces of each. As for the appearance of the wheels and their structure, it was like the glow of chrys´o·lite; and the four of them had one likeness. And their appearance and their structure were just as when a wheel proved to be in the midst of a wheel. When they went they would go on their four respective sides. They would not turn another way when they went." -- Ezekiel 1:15-17

that's the spiritual throne of god.
in my mind these wheels were always like giant pearls (chrys´o·lite)...

throw in a shield and a jousting sword and you've got yourself a deal.

Wow, really cool. But there's this cool thing called "walking" that works pretty damn well for me.
