The Honda UNI-CUB is a compact electric scooter or 'personal mobility device' which is self-balancing and designed for use in barrier-free indoor environments such as the home, level-floored office blocks, factories and warehouses. It is steered by weight shift control in a similar manner as that of the Segway PT. The UNI-CUB of 2012 is descended from the Honda U3-X of 2009.

Measuring 510 x 315 x 620 mm and weighing 25 kg, the UNI-CUB is powered by a lithium-ion battery and has a 6 km/h top speed and 6 km range. The seat height is 620 mm, while footrests are designed to double as support stands. A launch date has not yet been set as Honda is still looking into its potential uses and affordability, and refining its design. [1][2] The UNI-CUB project demonstrates Honda's robotic expertise, and is scheduled for extensive testing in real-world environments before appearing on the market.
