Hovering Is Cooler Than Biking

People are clever creatures. We've devised so many different ways to get around, you'd think our feet would be offended. Even over the past few years, we've seen Bird scooters take over (and get banned from) cities all over the world, city bikes rage in popularity, and all sorts of strange innovations hit the market. You definitely have some guy in your neighborhood who rides a unicycle. Hell, with gas being as expensive as it is, who can blame him?

But when a bike is too cumbersome, a scooter is too short on range, and a unicycle is too “manic pixie dream person,” it's time to try out something like the Hover-1 Electric Self-Balancing Scooter Ranger Hoverboard.

You'll feel like a Jetson zipping around on this thing. The ultra-fun, smooth-riding Hover-1 Ranger is equipped with dual 200W motors to get you up to seven miles per hour in a matter of seconds. Sure, it's slower than a bike, but it's so stable you could fall asleep and get to your destination safely. (Maybe don’t try it, though.)

With 6.5" wheels and sturdy construction that supports riders up to 220 lbs., this hoverboard will make easy work of bumps in the road, transitions from road to sidewalk, and more. Plus, it offers a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that allows you to cover up to six miles on a single charge. That's perfect for commuters who are still going to the office or anyone who has some errands to run. You can even use the built-in Bluetooth connectivity to listen to music, control the integrated LED lights, or adjust your speed.

Have some fun while getting where you're going. Right now, the Hover-1 Electric Self-Balancing Scooter Ranger Hoverboard is 43% off $229 at just $129.99.
