Meet iSlide. This cross between a skateboard and a snowboard is actually powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

Well, technically it isn't, because so far it is only a concept. Still, according to the Autoblog, this hip urban transport designed by Ofir Tal of Hadasa College in Israel is getting plenty of attention.

Though iSlide has only one wheel located in its center of gravity, operating it is simplicity itself. Leaning forward makes it accelerate; pushing back makes it slow down.

"With a top-speed of 15 kilometers per hour, don't expect to get anywhere too quickly," says Autoblog. But as a less expensive alternative to Segway, iSlide deserves a notice.
