Honda is known to present the world with innovation and technology. This time the company has a self-balancing electric unicycle to offer. Dubbed as the U3-X, this green vehicle travels at a speed of 3.7 MPH on an hour of battery life. Designed by keeping the aged in mind, the unicycle comes with an internal self-balancing system. Its single wheel is made using small motor-control wheels, which facilitates a forward, backward, diagonal and sideways movement, that too without the fear of tumbling over.
