I recently bought a hoverboard for $65 and they are pretty lame compared to my $350 Segway mini. Got it with my 2 year old daughter in mind who wouldn't be able to physically fit on my Segway until she's probably 7. Maybe she'll master the hoverboard by age 3 and we can cruise together.
Would still love to pick up one of those monster EUCs. I'll keep checking Craigslist for a deal.
On a longer time horizon, I'm waiting for a Chinese knockoff of this;
The suit, which creates 317 pounds of thrust and makes 1,050 brake horsepower, carries 5.25 gallons of jet fuel. That will allow it to propel a person of less than 200 pounds for about four minutes |
off topic but on topic that suit is wild.
Cost: 400k
To use it: The founder said he had to get to core strength level of being able to flag pole to be able to use it. Oh my god... This man is a monster.
