Personal Levitating Hover Scooter
By Vic DaSilva
Contributing Writer, RealTechNews
The Levitating Hover Scooter uses the same principles found in larger hovercrafts. The scooter is powered by a four-stroke internal combustion engine that lasts one hour on a full tank of unleaded gasoline with a top speed of15 MPH. The engine is controlled by a throttle and clutch mounted on the handlebar. To accelerate you lean back while gripping the handlebar, and the friction drive wheel at the underside rear of the scooter makes contact with the ground. To stop you release the throttle and clutch controls causing you to coast to a halt over a span of twenty feet. In case you work late at the office, the scooter comes equipped with head and tail lights which come on at the flick of a switch. Price: outrageously expensive at $17000 but if you like traveling in unique style, this is the ride for you.For more info

I saw this on a TV show like a year back. It didn’t look that impressive and how often do you have to cross water and land at the same time on your way to work. Especially in the city. Bring on the flying cars plz.

I wanted to ad to my first comments, now that school is out our hovercraft has become the talk of the neighborhood, everyone wants to ride it, I believe that this product purchased from the skihaus sports center in annapolis Md. is great, It keeps everyone playing together at a clean and wholesome activity. It certainly has made us stay closer to home this summer. Check one out.
