The device itself may not have great market potential, however the technology behind the invention is quite brilliant. The Omni Directional Traction System allows it to move in all directions unlike any vehicle in history. Down the road, this technology could make Honda filthy rich because of their patent to it.

If you're not in good shape perhaps it's better that you don't use one...

I actually like the idea. This is obviously not a car replacement. But this seems way more practical than segway for somebody with mobility issues. Light enough to carry anywhere, Small enough to conveniently store and one can ride it sitting down. I just wonder how convenient will this be to ride, for someone who is not in good shape to begin with.

We’re going to see a brand new wave of technology occur as a wide variation of vehicles will emerge. That will be the status quo until someone learns to make a vehicle that can move off the ground, making transportation even smoother and quicker.

I like the Antro Solo concept. If they would redesign the vehicle for one or two people, I would consider buying one for the exercise I could get going to and from work. It could not be any worst than riding a recumbent bicycle. And if one did not feel well enough for exercise, they could still make it to work due to the hybrid nature. I am sure that the amount of energy produced by pedaling is small, but it is a “free” source of energy as long as one is alive.

Maybe I am a little slow, I don’t “get” that UX-3 thing. Is it for people for whom using their feet while…on their feet is too much effort? And that PUMA thing, how is it any better than those things all those American “Cart People” tool around in? Wait I see it, it takes the concept to the next level, autonomous driving AND parking. Clearly its meant to appeal to people that are not only too fat and useless to walk, but also too lazy to actually do there own driving and parking. I too own a personal urban mobility vehicle, I call it my ‘Bike’. The only thing concepts like these prove is that some people have too much money and time on their hands.

These nut cases are giving alternative transportation a bad name. We need new propulsion, not freak show vehicles.
