Sick of the hype around hoverboards that don't actually leave the ground? A company called ArcaSpace is touting one that does — the third such promise in 2015, The Verge reports.

"For the first time, every person will be able to fly anytime, anywhere," is how the company advertises its ArcaBoard in a new video. "The world, your world, will change forever."

That "anytime, anywhere" bit is right now limited to six minutes off the ground for the low cost of $19,900. Like the Arx Pax and Lexus models, this hoverboard is still more of a marketing stunt than a retail reality. Sorry, Back to the Future fans.
