Back to the Future style.   The video is neat.

Wonder what the cost would be if it ever did go into production for consumers.
To use maglev technology that would make this sort of hoverboard work, you need a magnetic metal track. Normal concrete pavements won’t do.

Still not quite there.

That I don't know, but i imagine it would be fairly reasonable die to limits on where you could use it initially.
