The Levitating Hover Scooter uses the same principles found in larger hovercrafts. The scooter is powered by a four-stroke internal combustion engine that lasts one hour on a full tank of unleaded gasoline with a top speed of 15 MPH. The engine is controlled by a throttle and clutch mounted on the handlebar. To accelerate you lean back while gripping the handlebar, and the friction drive wheel at the underside rear of the scooter makes contact with the ground. To stop you release the throttle and clutch controls causing you to coast to a halt over a span of twenty feet. In case you work late at the office, the scooter comes equipped with head and tail lights which come on at the flick of a switch. How hard is the Levitating Hover Scooter to ride you ask? From the site:
Learning to ride the scooter takes less than five minutes, and no previous skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, or other experience is required. Easy and intuitive to control, the rider simply leans left or right to perform smooth turns without the need for complex controls.
How much does it cost to drive your very own UFO? $17000

Does it work on water? I think it might be the only way for my President to listen to me.
