Air Board: The $14,000 Personal Hovercraft
While a bit expensive to be considered as a practical replacement for bikes, the Air Board does have some advantages. It can travel "over concrete, asphalt, grass or shallow wet areas, but you cannot hover over water, sand, stones or dirt-filled areas due to the bottomside vacuum." Video after the break.
The Air Board floats about 8 inches off the ground. It can go as fast as 15 mph, and will last about an hour on 1.3 gal of gasoline.[via Technabob]
