AIRBOARD is the latest fun leisure vehicle seen first at the Olympic Opening Ceremony celebration held in Sydney, Australia! Easy and fun to ride - simply start it up, hop on, adjust the throttle and off you go! AN EASY RIDE: It's easy to learn and simple manoeuvres are achieved with just a little practice. By adjusting your balance and changing your weight from one side to the other you can turn from 180 to 360 degrees. It can take you to new heights of extreme fun and you can make it as easy or as difficult to ride as you like. SAFETY: It is virtually impossible for the Airboard to travel faster than 30 km/ hour (18 mph) which is a similar speed to some electric stand-on scooters. The speeds at which the Airboard travels are safe speeds; however, personal protective equipment (PPE) must still be worn in the event of a fall when attempting fast cornering or trick manoeuvres. ONE HOUR RIDES: The Airboard uses standard grade petrol (Octane rating 85) and holds approximately 5 litres (1.3 US gallons) which should last around one hour of normal riding. WATCH IT RISE! Shaped like a tiny futuristic UFO resting on the ground, the AIRBOARD is easy and fun to ride - simply start it up, stand on top of it, squeeze the two simple controls on the handlebar at waist-level, watch the vehicle rise on a trapped cushion of air, and then move forward at up to 15 miles per hour. For an average rider in still conditions (i.e., no wind ) riding on smooth surfaces, the Airboard speed is limited to approx 25 kms/ hour (15 mph). Where there is a slight wind the Airboard speed upwind will be slower and downwind will be faster. SPEED FACTORS: Because the Airboard is used on flat ground your speed is limited by the wind resistance that the rider and board present compared to the combined air and friction wheel thrust. In addition, different riding surfaces have different resistance factors (i.e., grass compared to concrete). Stopping the Airboard is easy - just release the levers on the handle bar and it will quickly slide to a halt. From top speed it will usually take just a few meters ( yards ) to stop in a straight line. However skilled riders prefer to stop faster in a sliding turn - just like in snow skiing and snow boarding. CONTROL METHOD: The Airboard handle bars include two control levers - one for the engine/fan speed and the second for the friction drive clutch. In addition to using these two levers, the Airboard rider uses weight transfer to steer the board to the left or right - just like a skateboard or snowboard. The exciting and new Airboard uses hovercraft air cushion principles to glide just above the ground. The air cushion is generated from a purpose designed engine and fan which are suspended below the Airboard shell. In addition to providing an air cushion for the Airboard to ride on the fan also provides a fast stream of air exiting from the rear of the craft to provide forward thrust - just like a hovercraft. To help provide better acceleration the Airboard also includes a unique friction drive wheel at the rear. When the rider wishes to accelerate forward, weight transfer is used to bring the friction drive into contact with the ground. By engaging the friction drive clutch the Airboard can be accelerated forward without losing the feel of hovering above the ground. The control of the Airboard is provided by weight transfer of the rider, similar to surfboards, skate boards and snow boards. In operation, the Airboard can be started, stopped and steered in a controlled manner and this means that riders can perform stunts trick manoeuvrers and race around tight tracks and against each other. In this unique way the Airboard is the first ever vehicle to deliver the advantages of a hovercraft vehicle without the disadvantages of poor acceleration and handling.

The Airboard should be ridden on level ground and private property. Suitable surfaces: grass, concrete, asphalt or packed dense materials such as salt pans. It is essential that the surface is not loose or littered with material that could be lifted by the airstream of the Airboard. The Airboard should NEVER be used on water or surfaces which are unable to support the rider and machine. Where an Airboard can be used is limited only by your imagination and your local regulations and ordinances.
