    Rideable Lexus hoverboard prototype developed

    25 June 2015 Last updated at 12:11 BST

    A rideable hoverboard has been created by car manufacturer Lexus.

    The company introduced its creation in a teaser video it posted online, but did not show a rider using the hoverboard.

    Lexus told the BBC it had developed a working prototype and would be releasing more videos over the summer.

    A number of companies have been trying to develop a hoverboard in 2015, to match predictions for the year made in the Back to the Future films.

    The Lexus hoverboard contains magnets cooled by liquid nitrogen to float above a customised skate park in Barcelona.

    The company said it did not intend to sell the device.
