Tech blogger 神奇阿宇 from Hubei, China has built a functioning electric hoverboard: 10 brushless motors deliver over 30kg of thrust each—enough to lift four people—with peak current hitting 2,000 amps.
Two STEPX Neo phones act as the board's brain: one inside the board reads posture data in real time, while another on his wrist pipes AI voice prompts through his earbuds ("Weight's shifting left!" "Bend your right knee!").
After 10+ days of intense training with AI-assisted correction, he achieved man-machine sync.
