Abstract: Opening from an examination of all the best features of accomplishment of the hoverboard, a modern vehicle for urban transport, the authors have created inventive ideas to design the transport means itself. Quality Function Deployment methodology provided the requirements to start from, while the TRIZ methods have provided us the proposals and notions of an innovative landscape to which the authors tend. In practice, while the QFD methodology has a powerfully conceptual appeal, and it is the basis of our analysis, the TRIZ method gives a more innovative thrust and deals the aspects that are strongly constructive and concrete. The Matrix of Contradictions was used within the Hill Model, and through it, the authors have been able to rework the innovative problems, suggested by the QFD analysis, in terms of technical contradictions. At the end of the work, a number of suggestions were made to further innovate this urban and modern means of transport: the hoverboard.
