Honda developed an
electric two-wheeler. The new two-wheeler, UNI-CUB, allows you to travel only
by shifting your weight while you remain seated at a maximum speed of 6 km/h.
It is 74.5 cm high with two wheels. One is for moving back and forth, and the
other is for rotating movement. If you incline forward a little, you can travel
forward slowly. You can easily travel from side to side or gyrate only shifting
your weight. You can also operate the UNI-CUB using a small touch panel.
The company plans
to address the demonstration experiment in alliance with the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan). They will conduct the demonstration
experiment until March 2013. The staff members of the Miraikan will use the two-wheeler
to guide visitors and patrol inside the premises to explore ways to improve the
two-wheeler. Mamoru Mouri, an ex-astronaut and Miraikan’s director, gave an
impression, saying that he felt as if he returned to the zero gravity space. It
is not yet decided whether or not this new product will be commercialized.
