Hoverboards

Hoverboards

During an interview at the time of the film’s release, director Robert Zemeckis claimed that the hoverboards were real but not released to the public due to ‘parental safety concerns’. This was a lie. While larger hoverbikes, floating bars and a prototype hoverboard all exist (though that prototype only works if no one stands on the board). we’re still a few years away from anything like the flying skateboard depicted in the film.
