Electric Unicycle Unveiled In Japan

A electric battery-powered unicycle, shaped like a figure eight, has been unveiled in Japan.
The unicycle unit U3-X, produced by Honda Motor Co, can be steered by leaning in the direction the rider wants to go.
The vehicle, which is in the development stage, has a maximum speed of 6 km per hour (3.7 mph) and weighs less than 10 kilos.

It looks like it is defying gravity. Probably not a good idea that they go too fast though.

Or for whizzing around the supermarket. The mind boggles, its almost magical the way it keeps upright. Amazing!
