Honda’s new “personal mobility” device looks like a unicycle, but all you need to do to zip around on it — sideways as well as forward and back — is lean your weight into the direction you want to go. The U3-X was designed to be small, safe and unobtrusive enough to mingle with pedestrians, according to Honda Motor. The single wheel on the U3-X — the “U” stands for “unicycle” and “universal” — is made up of many tiny motor-controlled wheels, packed inside the bigger wheel, allowing the device to swerve in any direction.
