erm, from what I can tell of the tech - beyond the vaguest similarity in external form, these two devices couldn't be more different.

well the honda one goes sideways too, must be some type of ball underneath.

the honda is waaaaaaaaaaayy cooler. But the other one looks like it can take a little more abuse.

I see X-Games, humorous You Tube crashes and some sort of spectacular death in the near future.

well.. who presents it to the world first - wins the girl right?
too bad the Slovenian guy didn't to exactly that because I like his model way more than the Honda model.. Honda model just looks like it would break if you sit on it. Also, that Takanobu dude presenting the "invention" creeps me out.
.. The original model looks as if could sustain doing some tricks with it too.

you can't secure patent protection for "a method to produce a motorised unicycle" anymore than you can protect "a method for cutting sandwiches into triangles".

So we all agree, its a rip?

- how's that khuram
the guy had a working proto by april of last year, honda just released his model, I blv its a ripGeorgesII - d00d. They have conceptual similarities and thats it. And i'm sure Aleks wasn't the first to build a workin prototype eitherKhurram
- first to generate interest from an obscure channel 5 show, sure, as well as potential marketing proposals...Khurram

the first one is a segway you can sit on, the second is multi directional

Giving the hipsters ideas and options doesn't help any of us.

The Honda one doesn't look like it'll like any kind of incline/decline... plus it looks like something out of iRobot.
I prefer the slovenian one, he just needs someone to come along and help make it look a little less 'home-made'.

looks bloody dangerous this....
