Honda’s New Electric Car Includes a Robotic Unicycle
At the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show, Honda will be unveiling a new electric car concept called the EV-N that comes with a segway-esque mobility unicycle device called the UX-3 — so you never have to walk again…ever!
Honda will showcase the model at its green-themed display called the HELLO! Zone which is devoted to electric cars.
The EV-N, which kinda looks like a Japanimation version of a Mini Cooper, shouldn’t be shrugged off as just some copycat car. Aside from the oddly-cool, and strangely intriguing, robotic unicycle, the EV-N also has swappable seat fabrics, a solar roof and some color-adjustable “communications system.”

The 22-pound UX-3 is ultra-portable with fold away footrests and seat cushions. It is powered by a single lithium ion battery with a speed just under 4 MPH. Ridiculous stares from passers-by included at no extra charge.

Wonderful car! I want one!
One of the coolest things about this concept is the interior. For those of us with kids and pets, that would make like a lot easier and cleaner. If those translate into other models that would make them more attractive as a brand towards parents and pet owners.
