Where are the hoverboards?

Asked by filmfann (52513

In October, 2015, Marty McFly arrived in (Back to) the future to find a world where kids rode hoverboards, and cars could fly.
It has gotten pretty obvious that isn’t gonna happen at this point.
So, the only answer is: What did Marty do in the past that stopped the invention of the hoverboard?
How does this get fixed?

When they discontinued the DeLorean (a sad day, for all), they also closed down the hoverboard R&D department.

Hang tight. There’s still two-plus years to go.

Watch for my announcement of the 3D hoverboard printer.

Ever since Doctor Brown decided to write books about piranhas that walk on land, shit just went downhill. Allow me to quote Calvin and Hobbes; Where are the floating cities?! Where are the flying cars?! You call this the future??

See, I’m betting that Biff used some of his money to invest in something that paid off big time in hover technology. When Marty caused Biff to lose his fortune, or never to have gained it, it also destroyed the essential R&D that created the Hoverboard. But what was that R&D?
