Five personal transportation gadgets that exist right now, cost real money, and ship straight to your door.

TechnoNerd’s “5 AWESOME PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION MACHINES that You can Buy Now” skips the usual concept-car theater and goes straight to inventory you can actually check out today. Every machine in the video is something a viewer could order that afternoon — several of them directly through Amazon — rather than a prototype waiting on a crowdfunding campaign or a factory line that never materializes. The video has pulled in millions of views riding the late-2010s wave of interest in electric micromobility.

• The countdown covers five commercially available devices: electric scooters, the Segway personal transporter, the One Wheel, electric bikes, and electric skateboards.
• Several of the featured machines, according to the video’s framing, are purchasable directly on Amazon rather than through specialty retailers only.
• TechnoNerd evaluates each entry on ownership criteria — price, portability, and everyday usability against cars or public transit — rather than novelty alone.

The Five Machines in the Countdown

Electric scooters lead the list for an obvious reason: they’re cheap relative to the other four, fold down small enough to carry onto a bus or into an office, and run on battery power instead of gas, which keeps them quiet on sidewalks and bike lanes alike. The Segway personal transporter — still referred to colloquially as a “hoverboard” in the video, despite that nickname technically belonging to a different self-balancing category — gets credit for reading rider posture and shifting weight to control speed without a throttle.

The One Wheel stands out as the most mechanically distinct entry: a single motorized wheel flanked by two footpads, steered and throttled purely by leaning forward, back, or side to side. TechnoNerd frames it as the pick for riders who want something that handles rougher terrain — grass, gravel, light trails — better than a standard board. Electric bikes round out the middle of the list as the most familiar option, adding a battery-assisted motor to a traditional bicycle frame so riders can cover more ground without matching the effort with their legs.

Electric Skateboards Close the List

Electric skateboards get the final slot, positioned as the most portable of the five once you’re off the board — small enough to tuck under an arm, but capable of real speed once you’re on it. TechnoNerd calls out remote-control throttle features on some models as the detail that separates them from a regular push skateboard in stop-and-go city traffic, since riders can accelerate or brake without shifting their footing.

Every device on this list runs on electricity, produces no tailpipe emissions, and is something you can buy right now — not something you’re waiting to buy.

Buy Now Remains Core Strategy

What separates this video from the endless parade of hoverbike and jetpack concept reels is the constraint TechnoNerd sets for itself: nothing on the list requires a deposit, a waitlist, or a manufacturing timeline. That’s a meaningful distinction in a category where readers of pieces like Futuristic Technology You Can Buy Today already know how often “the future of transportation” turns out to mean “not yet, and maybe never.” Anyone curious about where this fits alongside broader retail gadget roundups can also cross-reference 9 AMAZING NEW GADGETS YOU CAN BUY ON AMAZON AND ONLINE, which covers similar buy-it-today territory outside the mobility space specifically.

Each of the five categories also plugs into a wider commuter market that was expanding fast heading into 2019 — scooters and boards showing up in bike lanes, e-bikes closing the gap between pedal power and moped speed, and self-balancing devices carving out their own lane between walking and driving. Viewers wanting a deeper dive into that adjacent electric-bike space specifically can check this E-Bike is basically just an Electric Motorcycle you can ride on bike trails, which digs into just how far that motor-assist category has stretched.

TechnoNerd doesn’t rank the five against each other by top speed or range — the pitch is simpler than that. It’s a shopping list, sorted by what’s realistic to own on a commuter’s budget, and every entry on it was sitting in an Amazon cart the day the video went up.
