That is actually quite ingenious! I'd like one of those, but can you imagine a horde of fat people in the aisles of Walmart with them?
Where will they put the basket?
I see one serious flaw with the system, it'd disappear up the butt of some of the larger people.
And the last time I checked Honda is based in Japan.

See if this works for you Andy. If not, Google Honda U3-X.

remember when segways were new? They said in 3-5 years, 1 in 3 of us would be hauling our ever growing fatasses around on them. In the decade plus theyve been around, Ive never even been in the same room as one.
same with this - a solution to a problem that doesnt exist. My legs are free and do the same job...why pay to replace em?

That thing would be perfect for short trips from the couch to the fridge for beer and chicken and hot dogs and stuff!

I've only seen mall cops using them, really.

Segways are THE big thing on tourist tours. Even on the haunted tours.

You know... this might have had something to do with their widespread popularity...

that thing just needs those plastic straw-like things that kids put on their bike spokes.. and maybe a baseball card in the spokes to make it sound like it has a motor in it.. and a banana seat.. and streamers on the handle bars. and a bell.. and a horn.. and one of those headlights that runs off a generator on the wheel...
