Encased in a basic fairing which could hold fuel and remote-control equipment, the unit weighed 5,600 pounds (2550 kg) and generated a thrust of approximately 6,200 pounds-force (27.6 kN); the Atar Volant was able to cause vertical lift, Actual machine is on Display in France "Atar Volant C.400 P2"

So theres a max weight the hover board can carry. How much fuel you have is your weight subtracted from the max takeoff. Otherwise get a bigger backpack for more fuel. Jets are the same way. Theres only so much thrust available. Just because there are eight hard points to mount bombs on doesnt mean you can carry eight 10,000lb bombs.
