I don't think so, but perhaps on Google there might be some info about what the pricing might end up being.

I'll check it out and post here when I remember to :P

EDIT: Prototypes sold for 10,000$ on kick starter soooo very expensive.

Well, the superconductors are probably made of Wolfram (Tungsten) which i think is quite rare and pricy. And to hold a person they'd have to be quite big too.

At this price, I sure hope that the hoverboard would at least be durable so that during hoverboarding competitions it won't break immediately after hitting a wall after the person fell.

Well last thursday I was skate boarding and I fell off as I was going down hill and it wasn't the mildest of injuries, That looks allot less balanced than my RipStik (what I was using) and so I think severe injuries would be common with then O.O

True, there would probably be liability concerns

Indeed. This is why I am a bit concerned that some cities or countries might outlaw this item or require a license/permit.
