The Lexus hoverboard is a prototype of a skateboard-like device that uses magnetic levitation to float above the ground. It was created by luxury car company Lexus as part of their "Amazing in Motion" campaign.
The Lexus hoverboard works by using superconducting magnets and liquid nitrogen-cooled semiconductors to create a magnetic field which allows the board to float and be propelled by the user's movements.
No, the Lexus hoverboard is currently only a prototype and is not available for purchase. Additionally, it requires a special track with magnetic rails to operate, so it cannot be ridden just anywhere.
The Lexus hoverboard is designed to be ridden in a controlled environment and is not intended for use on public roads or sidewalks. As with any extreme sports equipment, it should be used with caution and proper safety gear.
There is no current release date for the Lexus hoverboard as it is still a prototype. It is also unclear if it will ever be available for public purchase as it was created primarily as a marketing campaign for Lexus.
