Hendo is introducing the world's first REAL hoverboard and hover developer kit. They are putting hover technology in YOUR hands. Their Goal was $250 000, but currently there are $378 207 pledged, and there is almost 1 year to the premiere date. I predict - they will gain $500,000 more and will start the new generation of X-Games. Probably after 20 years - there will be hoverboards in the Olympics :) But first lets see what will gonna happen on Oct 21st, 2015.

In fact, this our 18th prototype, and they continue to make advances week after week.

The magic behind the hoverboard lies in its four disc-shaped hover engines. These create a special magnetic field which literally pushes against itself, generating the lift which levitates our board off the ground.

So where does the HENDO hoverboard stand today (29.10.2014)? Well, about 1 inch off the ground. The prototype is real and it works! But to see it hover in person, and better yet, to defy gravity by riding it, is something you need to experience as well.

"With the support of the Kickstarter community, we all can. We need your help to put the finishing touches on the Hendo Hoverboard, to help us produce them, and to create places to ride them" - said HENDO team in theirs KICKSTARTER page.

Yep, there was a movie. However, their attorneys have told them not to go there. So this is as far as they’ll take it.

The hoverboard is simultaneously fascinating and exhilarating. The enabling technologies existed, but no one had yet been able to align them to bring a hoverboard forth. Hendo has done so, and our hoverboards are working in almost every way we could have imagined. But perfecting it will take a little more time and resources.
