Hoverboard vs Jetpack

So, a few of you may know about this, and I thought it would ba a nice idea to discuss which one the EE people would prefer.

The descriptions are made up, but if you still want one, here you go:

▼Descriptions

You should make your own idea about them, but if you really want something.

▼Hoverboard

Floats above the ground and water. Lets you do tricks (like a skateboard but better). Has built-in balance assist, which makes it safe for use (can be turned off for advanced users). Low energy usage and lightweight, lets you use it for days before recharging.
However, it cannot go on vertical surfaces, or too high over the ground, so you're limited on where you can go. Its top speed isn't really high either (say 30mph / 50km/h )

▼Jetpack

Lets you fly anywhere. Can go at high speeds, as well at standing still in midair. Using it is easy, just equip it and you're ready. Fail-safe easy landing (just be sure you're not above the ocean!).
However, it's not really lightweight (can be dealt with by most people, but not kids under 12-14). Energy usage is rather high, it can be used for several hours (3-8, depending of speed) before requiring recharging with either fuel or energy.

Vote for your favourite, and don't forget to tell why

I'll keep vote counts here:

Hoverboard: 3 (Insanity, STD, Kefka)
Jetpack: 0

hoverboard hands down

its more portable, has low energy usage, and 30 mph is insanely fast to get around local areas so yea, if this existed id use it everyday

Maverick: Started up on a 6, when he pulled from the clouds, and then I moved in above him.
Charlie: Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him?
Maverick: Because I was inverted.
