Well watch out Segway! Honda unveiled their new people mover which they deemed a personal mobility device. This little thing has no steering wheel. It has an electric motor, and a couple of little wheels in series that allow one to move in any which direction you want it to. The U3-x moves based on the movement of your body. Lean to the left and it will move to the left. Lean to the right and you guessed it, it will move to the right.
The U3-x weighs about 22 pounds, its seat and foot rests fold into the device and has a nifty handle that will allow you to carry it from place to place. Honda has not said when it will be available, as it is just experimental at this point, but they are going to showcase it next month in the Tokyo Auto show.

this little sucker in action on You Tube.
