So many of us have been waiting for the moment those hoverboards from Back to Future become real. While there are similar devices available, questionably called hoverboards, and they’ve improved over time, the one we want just isn’t here yet. That’s okay because what we do have is pretty cool, anyway.

Like the Fluxx FX3 Hoverboard that Walmart has on sale right now for over half off. It’s a self-balancing scooter with some big wheels, and bright LED headlights. You can get it for $88 with free shipping in black, blue, pink, or teal. A fantastic deal wouldn’t you say?

The Fluxx FX3 can support up to 176 pounds and has a max speed of up to 6.2 miles per hour. Thanks to dual 200-watt motors — 400 watts total — and a highly efficient battery, there’s plenty of power on display. It can ride for up to 3.1 miles at a time, on just a single charge, and the design of the board means it can go in any direction and rotate 360 degrees locally. Because it’s a slower board overall, you can use it safely indoors and out, although you’ll need plenty of room!

LEDs built into the wheels and the board light up at night, illuminating the roads or sidewalks. They also make it easier to position your feet on the board in low-light conditions. The 6.5-inch large wheels are big enough to handle most terrain, and certainly offer a smooth ride on asphalt. The intelligent self-balancing system will keep the rider level and safe during a trip. Just hop on and go! It’s a great system to travel short distances faster than walking or to give your sore feet a break.

Walmart is offering the Fluxx FX3 Hoverboard for $111 off, normally $199, so you’re getting it for $88 with free shipping. That’s an insane deal, especially if you look at comparable boards which are much more expensive. Plus, it comes in several colors including black, blue, pink, and teal, and all of them are on sale for $88.

These Xero Shoes saved space in my travel bag—and strengthened my feet

Three pairs of Xero Shoes best suited for travelers

A man wearing Xero shoes while standing on a mossy rock

Zero-drop minimalist footwear was once considered a niche specialty, but has gained popularity among enthusiasts of foot health and natural movement. And I'm one of their biggest fans -- as a full-time traveler, their packability and ability to increase foot strength is a win-win on the road. I've crafted a Xero Shoes review guide based on three pairs I've traveled with, so you can decide if any are worthy of your suitcase.

Why Xero Shoes? They've been in business for over 15 years, have engineered more than 50 unique pairs of shoes, and offer a whopping 5,000-mile sole warranty. In short, they've been in the barefoot game for a while, and balance reliable quality with innovation nicely.

This golf brand is breaking into pickleball with high-performance paddles

This golf brand is dipping their toes into pickleball gear

PXG XP1 pickleball paddle

With about 50 million adults in the United States playing pickleball last year, it's been the fastest-growing sport in the United States for the past four years. Brands are starting to take notice. Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) is well known for its golf equipment, but they are officially breaking into the pickleball market with a series of pickleball paddles, namely with the PXG XP1 and the XP2. Nearly one-third of golfers also play pickleball, so this crossover release has everyone excited.

In the market for a new pickleball paddle? Both the XP1 and the XP2 paddles will feature a polyurethane honeycomb core with 8mm cells for optimal energy transfer and vibration dampening. This will hypothetically make your shots more precise and powerful. On the outside, the hitting surface is made from 3K woven carbon fiber for high tensile strength and lightweight maneuverability. This carbon fiber finish improves ball grip so you'll be able to perform better spins and maintain directional control during rallies. Lastly, these paddles are made with aerodynamics in mind.
