Travel Like A Boss
With Arcaboard
The hoverboard that actually
hovers and does not spontaneously
combust is out in the market.
B
y definition, hover means
remaining in one place in the
air. With that, we can realize
that the hoverboards before in
the market aren’t really hover-
boards.
The dream is not yet over as the
legit hoverboard is finally upon us with
the birth of ArcaBoard.

Unlike the boards which
famously combusts in itself and which
batteries are faulty, ArcaBoard is the real
deal. It can let you fly anytime, anywhere
above the ground. It features 272 horse-
power and 430 pounds of thrust. It has
36 high-power electric-ducted fans that
will levitate you for around six minutes
maximum, which could travel a little over
a mile at a maximum speed of 12.5 miles
per hour.

If you want to hover more than
six minutes, no need to fret as replace-
ment battery parks are now in the works,
apart from the previous charging time of
35-minutes to a dead battery.

More reason to be excited
about the real hoverboard is the cut
price of $14,900, a $5,000 deficit from its
pre-order price at Christmas at $19,900.
