25 years ago, Back to the Future Part II introduced arguably the greatest mode of transportation the world had ever seen: the hoverboard. Here’s one look at what it would be like if it was finally a reality thanks to HUVrTech.
And because nothing this cool could actually be true, Mashable found some more evidence that this is, indeed, a hoax.
According to HUVrTech’s website, the if they were true would be incredibly awesome real-life hoverboards began as a MIT physics project in 2010. Tony Hawk, Moby, Terrell Owens and other celebrities met in a Los Angeles parking lot to take the HUVr board for a spin.
The board allegedly autobalances for you, so you can’t fall off. It’s so safe you don’t need to wear a helmet (though Terrell Owens decided to anyway). There will be an app that will allow you to chart a course around town. But before you get excited about this remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
