Wow, there are still posts coming for this thing. I commented in November of 2008. Who knew the turn the economy would take and the sorry direction of things. All the more reason to innovate.

I am very excited about this product! I suffer from MS and walking has become very slow and laborous. I would love to try this product. I am 39 and hate this slower version of my life! Thanks for thinking outside the box Honda!

I think this looks like a wonderful start on a very useful product. I am a nurse and see many different things and we need innovative products like this. Some of the comments I have seen are are ignorant, really. We are going to live longer and that means we will work longer out of necessity. Honda keep working on this. Kudos to you.

I HAVE JUST BEEN CLUED INTO THE DEVICE.
IF THE PICTURES ARE TRUE,I WOULD LIKE TO TRY IT.I AM IN MY 70’s
BUT I AM CONFINED TO AN ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR AT THE PRESENT TIME
I HAVE MOBILITY WITH MY LEGS ARMS AND THIS WOULD BE FINE. IF IT WORKS THAT WOULD BE GREAT!

Since I began to follow this assisted walking device from Honda Motors months back, I as well have seen those that just do not get it with ridiculous web comments. Like myself in the minority – cheerleaders serving others needs as well knows — “that we make it happen” — and will always be surrounded by the crowd that will be saying – “it can not happen” or “I will wait and see” and of course those who are scratching their heads and saying “What Happened?”, With the innovation like this Walking Devise which seems so simple that many many all over the world may actual use it or another product to positively impact their lives.

This is the second comment I’ve seen so far about this thing by someone who doesn’t understand the implications of it. While the American auto industry is floundering because of its lack of vision and sheer stupidity (see the SUV), the Japanese are developing products that have half-wits scratching their heads wondering “why?”. I’ll tell you why, it’s called the future and the future is robotics and unless the U.S. starts turning out more engineers from it’s schools as opposed to wannabe movie stars (not to belittle the importance of art in schools) and money hungry business majors, we are gonna continue to get our asses handed to us in very innovative ways that leave the clueless chuckling that stupid laugh of the woefully ignorant. Why, indeed.

Well that doesn’t look comfortable.
