Hatomi Hirofumi, NTV Reporter / You can just shift your weight forward like this and it moves. Both of your hands can be freed for other tasks.

Japanese automaker Honda Motor is set to start sales of its new personal mobility device UNI-ONE.

Users can steer by shifting body weight on the new mean of transportation, and can smoothly navigate gentle slopes.

The vehicle can detect potential risks such as collision and instantly extend wheels to stabilize.

Nakahara Daisuke, Honda / Infrastructure in Japan is not very barrier-free, so we want to promote UNI-ONE to help advance barrier-free initiatives nationwide.

Honda leveraged balance control technology acquired through the company’s humanoid ASIMO in developing UNI-ONE. 

The manufacturer hopes the vehicle will be used by children and the elderly, as well as within facilities such as theme parks.

UNI-ONE will be introduced at Sanrio's theme park Harmonyland in Oita Prefecture starting October 2025.
