At ScooterHire.co.nz, we allow ourselves to go off topic from time to time.
We liked the following video of a "Hover Scooter" that looked to be a nicely finished prototype back in 1960.
This is a cross between a motorcycle and a hovercraft.
Apparently the tweed jacket and tie worn by the dapper gentleman-rider was optional equipment.
This was filmed almost 50 years ago. There is no doubt that technological advancements from this time have dramatically changed and enriched our lifestyles. It is interesting to note that the advancement of a widely available levitating vehicle has failed to become a reality and has not advanced well beyond the point depicted in this video.

Birthday Celebration!
What's the best way to celebrate your 71st birthday.
At scooterhire.co.nz we have the answer - hire a scooter!
This dapper gentleman will be tooling around town and enjoying a bit of inner city culture, before embarking on an East Coast adventure.
Tolaga Bay is the planned destination, a 55km ride where our intrepid traveler will stroll along the historic Tolaga Bay Wharf that is 660m long and is said to be the longest in the southern hemisphere.
Another attraction at Tolaga Bay is the Cooks Cove Walkway, a five kilometres walk over farmland and through bush of Eastland to Cook's Cove, where Captain Cook halted to repair the Endeavour and take on fresh supplies.
After a leisurely look around the Tolaga Bay township and a spot of lunch it's homeward bond for a well deserved rest and perhaps a celebratory drink!

AutoMoto Scooter Review
At scooterhire.co.nz, we enjoy new toys!
Checkout the all new Automoto, a 3 wheeled scooter. The Automoto is much more like a conventional scooter. It just happens to have two wheels in the back. This aids in stability, giving riders a greater sense of control as they rip around the corners.
You’ll also notice that the Automoto has a full roof and windshield, helping to protect you against the elements and making the Automoto more of an all-weather vehicle. There’s also a trunk in the back, as well as four-speakers for in-scooter entertainment.
Is it as cool as a conventional scooter...well, you be the judge:
