The Honda UNI-CUB isn't a full-scale electric vehicle, but rather a small, personal one that's being compared to the Segway. That said, you might feel a little confused as to why a new Honda dealership would be reporting on an electronic device. Allow us to explain.
While the Honda UNI-CUB isn't a full scale electric vehicle, it is being used to test leading-edge tech that may make it into the new Honda models of tomorrow. In other words, it will be the first EV that Honda produces on a massive scale. Therefore, even though it's not in the same class as a four-wheeled electric car, its development will have some influence on how future electric vehicles function. Perhaps, now you'd like to learn a bit more about how it works?
The Honda UNI-CUB EV navigates by turning a small wheel in the back, called the Omni Traction Drive System. The wheel is guided by a balance control technology in the vehicle's seat. As the driver shifts their weight, the wheel turns to the vehicle accordingly. Driving the Honda UNI-CUB EV couldn't be more intuitive.
But what potential uses does it really have? All sorts. Mainly designed for easy travel within large buildings (i.e., malls, museums, and airports), Honda plans to sell the UNI-CUB on a commercial level. The aforementioned institutions would utilize them to streamline foot traffic within their facilities and therefore decongest otherwise crowded areas.
Of course, if you still prefer the kind of new Honda that you can really take a seat behind the wheel of, then feel free to arrange a test drive at East Coast Honda today.
