Honda showcased the Uni-One 'mobility device' at the Japan Mobility Show.
The Uni-One features the Honda Omni Traction Drive System for omnidirectional movement.
It is controlled by shifting body weight, similar to a hoverboard.
Specs include a weight of 154 lbs, max rider capacity of 243 lbs, and top speed of under 4 mph.
Range is about 5 miles or 2 hours of operation with removable lithium-ion batteries.
The device is simple to start and intuitive to ride but requires practice for precision.
Honda targets a wide range of users, including those with mobility issues and workers in large facilities.
The Uni-One will launch globally in 2025, initially available only for lease.
Lease pricing is estimated at ¥120,000 per month (~$800), targeting organizations over individuals.
