hoverboard
Two-wheeled electric transport
A hoverboard is a self-balancing electric scooter with two wheels side by side, ridden standing up.
The name comes from the fictional levitating boards in *Back to the Future*, though real hoverboards don't actually hover—they roll.
She got a hoverboard for Christmas but wiped out on the first day.
