While real hoverboards are still a pipe dream, the MonoRover R2 provides the same street-surfing coolness on two wheels. This worldwide phenomenon of personal transport is already a cultural icon – and we're giving you the chance to win one.
The R2 is entirely self-balancing, and unlike a Segway, you don't need to hold on for dear life. Sensors under each foot-pad monitor your ankles and feet for the tiniest of movements, and the dual motors respond accordingly. You steer and accelerate by transferring your weight, and it is possible to spin the MonoRover around on the spot in tight urban environments. The R2 is pretty powerful, with a top speed of eight miles per hour and enough torque to speed up a 15º incline. The battery has a range of 10-12 miles, and there are LED lights for night rides.
For your chance to win yourself a MonoRover R2, simply head over to and hit the big green button to enter the giveaway. Then, share your entry with your friends for more chances to win. Good luck!
