You Mr man are thinking way ahead of everyone else

This actually sums it up. It’s useless, but looks cool enough to waste money on.

​@ultrastoat3298 true, it can also replace the unused exercise bike in every garage, to hold clothes and other junk 😊

Yeah the price is too prohibitive for it to be junk for me, but I do love the look

Same I'm going to laugh so hard while on it..

Bought mine today I can’t wait to get it!

You're really rich man. Your friends are gonna give you the hype once the order comes through

EUCs are also MUCH more dangerous and deadly.

@@zroger73 I mean, it just depends on the rider. I can take my EUC at 15 mph too. Except I can go for 60+ miles at that speed.

@@kennyb123, one-wheeled vehicles are inherently more dangerous and deadly...because physics. When the motor stops, you're going down. I know - I'm a Onewheel rider and ride with EUC owners. Onewheels and EUCs are WAY more fun than 2+ wheel devices, but when a scooter's motor stops, you can just coast to a stop instead of slamming into the pavement. :)

@@zroger73 It's why you still have a second foot. I mean you still have to put a foot down to sit at stop sign or stop light with this thing too: it's not gonna stand on it's own. Plus unlike a scooter you can bail off of, this is more like a bike where you go with it. EUCs, scooters, and electric skateboards have the advantage of just jump off to bail.

@@zroger73 Not really. Remember that at least with the EUC you can bail if the battery has an issue, the thing gets caught in a rut, etc. This thing having such tiny tires and low clearance is going to get stuck in many cracks in the pavement and not clear potholes. If you don't think it happens, ask my sister who flew over her handle bars face first chipping a tooth. When you have smaller wheels there's far more things to worry about. I'd say the main danger of EUCs is cutouts, but really the only PEVs that isn't an issue is ebikes or scooters where it doesn't just shut off. Even hoverboards still have the same issue as EUCs. But again, either of these is far more convenient in a short notice than this thing would be. In the time he took to put it together, you could have probably walked where you were going.

Pre-Uber

@@pasad335 yeh the difference is your car gets home as well as you.

Anyone can go get a Segway. You buy the Honda because it’s unique. It’s in a class of its own.

The Ninebot doesn't appear to have a seat or even a little storage. These products are not for the same audience.

it's available at my local dealership for $833 USD which surprised me. Even more convincing purchase

@@mystfirenot true, no discounts offered.

@@baldilocks1914It is true. Every dealer charges their own price for it. My closest dealer had it for $895 luckily.

@@mystfireI think you’re telling porkies. No discounts on this unless you’ve got some type of coupon.

how is it?

Also, handsfree.

EUCs are for people with a higher than average risk appetite. I have a Segway-Ninebot E45 I use to commute to work when the weather is favorable. A couple of months ago I was heading home from work and hit a bump - and the scooter suddenly lost all power. When it did it coasted and I was able to stop it with the rear fender brake. After about 30 seconds I was able to start it again and get home. It turns out that the external battery connection was loose and I was able to clean the connector and apply some dielectric grease and tighten the battery bolts and everything was fine after that. The big problem with EUCs is they are not dynamically stable in any axis. if you're riding one and *it* suddenly loses all power you WILL fall and you WILL get hurt.

They can end you in a flash. They don't look as cool as this too

@@1anre I don't think I'd call this thing cool. It's looks like sitting on a suit case. Just look how crunched he looked sitting on it. Plus like I said, as a last mile commuter the main selling point is convenience and this thing took him like 20 minutes to set up. If it was just while charging an EV well you're car may be half way or nearly done by then. Plus in most state all of these are illegal anyways. Only New Jersey has a PEV law so in most state the best you got are the e-bike laws, if your officer is being generous that is. Hoverboards have an added protection of the EPAMD law which in most states only covers hoverboards and segways. Also think your fear of them is mostly unwarranted. Just going slower vastly reduces the odds of it cutting out and they warn you way before that happens. Plus having a bigger wheel and suspension in many cases means you're way less likely to fall off from a bump or crack in the road.

Illegal on sidewalks in most cities.

Then nearly 1% of your Prologue + Motocompacto combo would actually be engineered by Honda.

if in the city for work and have to pay for parking, can park further away in a cheaper locations and take this even up to a couple miles away. or take it on the bus\tram into the city and be able to travel around a city center up to a couple miles quickly

$1000 USD

You can stash it under your desk at work and fits in pretty much any car easily

Because theft.

Easier to carry on the bus or train.

@@j_taylor bikes fit on trains in many cites. Ever folded up a 50lb bike and lugged it as a briefcase into a train?

@@EUC-lid I've seen folding bikes, never tried one myself. Thanks for suggesting that!

If it tops out at 15mph you can actually go faster on a Onewheel, though I think this might be safer. The range is about the same as an XR as well. Onewheel seems like it might be more fun, but I think this is probably more portable. It sucks carrying around the Onewheel if you ever run out of juice. The learning curve is probably easier for this though. Pros and cons, really. I'm glad there are more electric micromobility options though. edit: It's a bit cheaper than a Onewheel, too at $995. This could be good for doing select errands in a city.

If you want to stand, why not Rollerblades? 🙃

@@j_taylora Honda tug drone to pull my overweight ass in neon spandex on rollerblades would be far less embarrassing to be seen with than riding this thing.

lol 54k likes! I’ll take it 😂 we haven’t seen that glitch on our side yet

@@KyleConnerit was a glitch, it displays accurate views and likes now

Got to agree. A scooter would be better esp as with the right one you could carry a spare battery.

@Joe-lb8qn As much as I hate scooters they seem a tiny bit safer than this and some that fold up have even smaller footpint with much greater range. I can't imagine this being cheap so even in price scooters win. But I would much rather get a small foldable ebike insted of these mentioned two just because it's so much more stable and easier to ride, even at higher price.

@@antonio_fosnjar very good point Antonio.

It’s not really for the morbidly obese. Weight limit is 265lbs.

I'd use this on a work commute, where I don't have an extra hour to spend walking each way, and don't want to arrive sweaty. For recreation, I already have shoes. And a bicycle. Nothing for Honda to sell there. 😀
