Air board is probably one of those based on hover technology but closest to the Hover Board seen in the Back To The Future II. The Air Board is super expensive costs you a whopping $14,000. If you have extra bucks to burn, this is best gadget that can let you have hovering experience that is usually seen in sci-fi movies only.
Air Board can stay four feet above the ground when it’s up and travel at a speed at about 15 miles per hour. The consumption of Air Board on gasoline is huge as well.

Will we be seeing 3-wheeled vehicles sharing the road with us in the near future? Well, it might just be possible, considering that Congress just approved a bill that will allow 3-wheelers to get funding from the Dept. of Energy. After getting approval from Congress, the bill is going to pay a visit to Obama, who will most likely endorse this too. Expect to see 3-wheeled vehicles like the XR3 and Aptera 2e on the road with you in the future.
If you’ve ever felt lazy and wanted to walk instead of ride your bike, then the Bergmönch Backpack Bike will certainly be something that you’d like. This lightweight bike can be folded and stored into an integrated backpack while even allowing some space for additional stuff. The bike isn’t too sloppy either, what with its hand-built aluminum frame, Shimano SLX disc brakes and weighing just 9KG. Apparently you’ll be able to unfold it in 2 minutes, though if you intend to play with it, you’ll need to fork out €1,499 ($2,233), which is no small amount.
