The Energy Hoverboard is one of the Mythical finds tied to the Power Plant area in Storage Hunters: Open World, and there is only one reliable way to pull it into your inventory. You win it from a high-tier garage auction on the Power Plant island, not from the starter yards.
Quick answer: Reach the Power Plant island and bid to win a Power Plant Tier 3 garage auction ($50 entry, $600,000 net worth to enter) or Tier 4 garage auction ($225 entry, $3,500,000 net worth to enter). The Energy Hoverboard is a Mythical item in that loot pool.
Where the Energy Hoverboard comes from
The hoverboard sits in the Power Plant collection, which is a separate area built on its own island rather than part of the main map. Its two source auctions are the Tier 3 and Tier 4 garages. Both are locked behind net worth thresholds, and each charges an entry fee every time you join a round of bidding.
| Garage | Entry fee | Net worth to enter | Drops the hoverboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Plant Tier 2 | $20.00 | $65,000 | No |
| Power Plant Tier 3 | $50.00 | $600,000 | Yes |
| Power Plant Tier 4 | $225.00 | $3,500,000 | Yes |
Tier 2 does not hold the hoverboard, so skip it if that item is your only goal. The Tier 4 garage carries the steepest requirements but shares the same Mythical pool, which makes Tier 3 the cheaper practical target once you clear its $600,000 net worth wall.
Steps to win the Energy Hoverboard
Energy Hoverboard stats and value
The hoverboard is a Mythical ride with a base Ride Speed of 65. Grading the item raises both its condition and its ride speed, so a cleaned-up copy performs better and sells higher. In the Power Plant collection book it is listed at $120,000, while a well-conditioned graded example can be worth far more.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Mythical |
| Base Ride Speed | 65 |
| Collection book value | $120,000 |
| Graded example (94% condition) | $158,112 |
Note: The higher $158,112 figure reflects a graded copy at 94% condition, not the base collection value. Run any hoverboard you win through the grading store before selling to reach that range.
The vehicle push glitch
Once equipped, the Energy Hoverboard can be used to shove other players’ spawned vehicles, including cheaper rides like the Rusty Truck. Riding into a parked vehicle pushes it, which players have used to move or take another person’s car. Treat this as unintended behavior that can be patched at any time, and expect it to stop working if the developers adjust hoverboard collision.
The fastest route to owning the Energy Hoverboard is simple: hit $600,000 net worth, run Power Plant Tier 3 auctions, and keep bidding until the Mythical roll comes up. Grade it afterward to unlock its full ride speed and resale value, and move up to Tier 4 only once you can comfortably afford the $225 entry and clear the $3,500,000 gate.
