It makes me sad to see that some people are so dang lazy they dont even wanna bother to walk, cause now they can sit on a little unicycle robot that goes like 1mph

Concerns about the growing decadence of society aside, this is loving incredible for what it is.

I think it's just a thing to show off cool technology. It won't be something put into mass production that everyone uses.

Oh Honda, when will you learn to not listen to Tammy?

these would make office races really really fun

Personally I think these would be fun, but honestly they stop at that. They look about useless.
The entire time I watched the video I felt like I was listening to music from Phantasy Star Universe. (And some other games) Weird video.

[Trifax]

They're about as useful as segways. But just like segways, they're cool and fun to use, but not something to replace every day walking in an office or building.

Yeah, gliding around on a unicycle would be fairly awkward. Not to mention that most places don't have ramps.
