The hover scooter provides an unprecedented experience in personal transportation, levitating inches above the ground and speeding a single rider across level land on a cushion of air.

It hovers just a few inches above the ground and travels at up to 15 MPH.

Acceleration is handled via the throttle ond clutch on the handlebars. To increase acceleration, simply lean forward. Breaking is accomplished by turning off acceleation, and will take about twenty feet of coasting. Turning is handled via leaning left or right.

The New York Times calls it a “miniature flying saucer with handlebars.”
