The film "Back to the Future" made dream many skateboarders with the Hoverboard (skateboard without wheels that works by levitation). The reality is fast catching up science fiction since Lexus has unveiled its prototype skate levitation.

Lexus is a division of Toyota, the Japanese automaker that likes to experiment and make prototypes of cars. This time, Lexus has introduced a prototype for another type of vehicle, wheel, but with a board which he called "Slide". This is totally inspired by the hoverboard used by Marty Mac Fly (Michael J Fox) in the movie "Back to the Future."
A skate wheel without levitation and frictionless
Many fakes without wheel skates have experienced their heyday on the internet before the truth about the false appears. Sometimes even with the biggest names such as Tony Hawk, skateboarding legend now retired. This time, it actually seems serious. Lexus skateboarding without wheel uses a technology already known levitation by superconductivity. It is in fact super powerful magnets cooled by liquid nitrogen. This technology is mainly used for very high speed trains which operate on magnetic levitation and do not touch the rails. The result is a skate floating a few centimeters from the ground. It allows incredible movements without any friction.
This will revolutionize the world of skateboarding and the possibilities of figures.
Many unanswered questions around that skate levitation
Lexus has remained very stingy information. In a marketing strategy to increase the pressure around his product, the Japanese manufacturer has not indicated what is the autonomy of his hoverboard, which date for marketing, price or performance that his board would achieve.
Tests are planned this summer in Barcelona, which is considered the capital of skateboarding. New information will be distilled in the account drop by Lexus in the coming weeks.
