So I was researching my product for my business 400 class and I am doing a hoverboard that is like the one in back to the future it turns out people have already been trying to make them. As it turns out there a few out on the market right now but none have really taken off the first one to go commercial was called Airboard by Kevin Inkster. It looks nothing like the one in the back the futures but that’s where his idea came from. So it turned out hoverboards do exist but not the way I would like them to be. There are some hoverboards that are the size of a skateboard with a small lawnmower engine on the back of them. However they have not been marketed right at all I have never heard of any of these before. I just thought it was very cool people are trying these new ideas.
My hoverboard will look just like the one in the movies somehow if it involves smaller engines or maybe cost more money to design it right. Maybe offer them in different colors and sizes. I just hope I can keep the cost down so everyone can afford one.

I have never heard of these, you will have to let me know how it works!
ReplyDeleteThis is very different and I would love to see one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know newer products are always risky at first, when I bought the iPhone when it first can out in 2007 people thought I was crazy because it was new technology from a company that never made phones before. But something taking the risk in trying to be the early adapter is what makes it fun. Although you won't see me on a Airboard, because I wouldn't be able to stay on it.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! But I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to being up in the air. I would like to see one and how it works though. I'm sure this product could be sold to a lot of consumers.
ReplyDeleteI don't really mind heights too much but I'm not sure if I would like a hoverboard. It sounds a bit dangerous and I'm not much of a risk-taker. I'm sure a lot of people would love it though.
ReplyDeletewell i guess this product has been around but what i feel why it has not picked up momentum is because its targeting has not been towards the right group of people, and also there is need of modifying it to make it marketable
ReplyDeleteI would like to see some one else do it but not me!
ReplyDeletethats crazy in a good way.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to keep my feet on the ground, but I'll be in the front row when you can do a demonstration for us!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these. It sounds fun, but i'll rather watch. I'm sure teenagers would love this product.
