Default Could This Be Our New WC
Looks like it would take a meassure of balance from you too. Cool, though, From Honda.

Oh my goodness...what a miracle!! This could revolutionize mobility for the disabled, for sure...

By the way, when I first read the Thread heading, I thought you were discussing water closets...

Uh Sally. My thighs aren't that young and thin. AND I think I'd fall right off anyway. Cool, but definitely not for me.

It looks great, but there are a few things wrong with it being for disabled people. I don't know about others, but for me, siting up unsupported like that is more exhausting than even just having something to lean my back against, or sometimes even walking is easier for me than sitting unsupported.

But if they can make this, they should be able to make something along these lines that will work even for people who are more disabled.

Thanks for sharing!

Wonder who Honda thinks would be interested in this machine. I would be on either my head or butt quickly after getting on it.

I noticed how freely it moved before you even sit down on it. Did anybody see any brakes? It's a menace I tell Ya..

It might as well be a water closet.

It would be quite exciting to try and ride it with less than perfect balance. The technology will some day help the disabled, but ready for prime time now.
