Just got this e-mail link and thought it was kinda interesting, but i just might need one when my knees give out.

Very wild. Sedgeway 2.0.

This should help the obesity issues society is facing, no people who have the ability, don't have to walk anymore... :roll: Kind of a neat toy I suppose, but what's the point? It kind of seems like a giant waste of Honda's money and engineering talent to me, but maybe I just don't see what the ultimate goal is? Personal mobility for those without any sort of handicap is already pretty simple and efficient, all you need is 2 legs. This device doesn't look like it's targeted towards people with handicaps, only lazy people?

That's really cool. 8)

If it travelled fast enough, I could see a practical application in warehouses and large facilities.

Thank you for the very cool link, Wayne! I think this device can provide greater mobility than a wheelchair for many people recovering from knee surgery, et cetera.

I'm waiting for the sidewalks that move me like the Jetsons had, I can eat a twinkie while going to the ice cream shop all while putting out no effort

Being serious though, I would like to try one out just to see if it could be a fun toy.

Haven't seen the price tag on this one yet, but i'm guessing it may be higher that a "toy" range, i might have to wait for the china version LOL.
