Hoverboard

We were inspired by the popular game Subway Surfers to create

the One of its Kind Hoverboard. The Hoverboard is a small version of a conventional hovercraft but is ridden standing up. It uses the same air cushion principles to glide just above the ground. While our hoverboard can’t fly as high as the animated subway surfer, it does glide over smooth, rough surfaces … now you can easily glide over obstacles and bumpy roads as well. While it can ride over wet surfaces, it cannot ride over bodies of water because of its limited air-generating capacity.
