Awesome Hoverboard

Since getting his own DeLorean DMC-12, Colin Furze has been on a Back to the Future kick. While he’d love to have a real working Hoverboard like the one Marty McFly rode, he came up with the next best thing, strapping himself into a Gravity jetpack, and flying around with a replica board strapped to his feet.

Have one of those self-balancing, two-wheeled hoverboards? The HyperGoGo transforms any hoverboard into into a working go kart. It adds an adjustable chassis, racing seat, steering wheel, lever control, shocks, front wheels, and disc brakes. Since it folds down small you can even fit it in your car trunk.

The HoverSeat is a frame that you can attach to hoverboards with a 6″ or 10″ wheelbase, turning the toy into a four-wheeled vehicle. It can haul up to 250lb, works with any beach chair, and is easy to disassemble. You can even attach a second HoverSeat to tow a passenger.

2015 is almost over, and we didn’t get real hoverboards. All we got were some viral videos, and 2-wheeled contraptions that spontaneously combust. At $19,900, the ArcaBoard is the latest effort – a somewhat clumsy device that actually hovers using 36 powerful electric fans.

After teasing us, Lexus has revealed their working hoverboard. It uses the superconductor tech we featured a few years back, and a custom-built magnetic hoverboard park, so it won’t be in stores anytime soon. Still, it’s pretty awesome.

Lexus claims it has developed an honest-to-goodness hoverboard. The Slide is equipped with a liquid nitrogen reserve and magnets to attain frictionless movement. Don’t play with our hearts Lexus. Let this be legit.

Hollywood Parts is auctioning off a prototype of Griff Tannen’s hoverboard, which appeared in the cheesy chase scene in Back to the Future 2. It looks as badass as the one in the movie – but doesn’t fly.

Marty McFly had the coolest mode of transportation in Back to the Future II, but the hoverboard was never actually made. Artist Nils Guadagnin decided to make his own version for a recent exhibition.
