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.
