This Motorized Skateboard Might Kick Segway to the Curb When it comes to visions of the future in transportation, there are two versions we just can’t get out of our heads: the flying cars from The Jetsons and the amazing hoverboard that Marty McFly rode with so much style in Back to the Future Part II. Face it: Our reality is far more mundane. But a new “personal motorized transporter,” unveiled at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in January, just might make us feel like we’re living in the future. Available in red, white and black, the IO Hawk is essentially a two-wheeled, platform-only scooter that runs on electricity and has a range of about 10 to 12 miles on a full charge. Remember when McFly MacGyvered a skateboard from a wheeled wooden crate in the original Back to the Future? Well, if he’d done the same thing to a Segway, it would look like an IO Hawk. Just stand on the footboards, and then let your muscles do the rest. If you do want one, you can pre-order it for $1,800.

Razor scooters is going to make its own hoverboards — Quartz Put your feet up, America. Just released numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows US worker productivity declining during the first three months of the year at a 0.6% percent pace, as measured by GDP per hour worked. That’s not as steep as the 1% drop that was the initial estimate reported for the quarter. But still. It was the second straight negative reading, and in keeping with the post-Great Recession weakness that has caused certain economic observers to wring their hands raw. They should take a page from their proletarian compatriots, and chill. Why? Indications of rising hours worked along with peppy wages are worth celebrating, even if they’re partially to blame for the ongoing weakness in US productivity. Well…that’s only kind of, sorta, true if you define living standards as GDP-per-capita. In other words, it’s not just productivity that determines how well people within an economy live. As an aside, low productivity isn’t ideal.
The Weird Origin Story of the Viral, Dangerous Hoverboard A few weeks ago, I bought a new toy. $595 on Amazon, Prime shipping, showed up 36 hours after I clicked “buy.” It weighs 22 pounds, and, after about an hour of practice, I had it going top speed, about 6 mph. (It feels faster than it sounds.) I’ve fallen off it a million times, often after it does this weird seizure-crash thing that I can’t figure out how to stop or predict. My new toy is called a “Two Wheels Smart Self Balancing Scooters Drifting Board Electric (blue),” and it’s kind of like a Segway—but with no handlebars. It’s not a skateboard, but it’s kind of like a sideways skateboard? Whatever it is, I love it. All it took was one Instagram of Kendall Jenner on the board for the PhunkeeDuck to blow up. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve seen it before. Every time anyone uploads a video or picture of this scooter, the commenters all want to know two things: What’s that called, and where can I buy it? That’s where it gets weird. What’s in a name? That’s exactly true, actually.
