You're looking at a Z3000 Deluxe Hoverboard manufactured by Gadgetron. You can use it in races held throughout the galaxy. The hoverboard auomatically equips as soon as you step onto an Official Gadgetron HoverTrack.
Hoverboards are anti-gravity boards used in sport across the Solana Galaxy in Ratchet & Clank and Ratchet & Clank (2016 game). They are used by many racers, and Ratchet acquires his own board, the Z3000 Deluxe Hoverboard, which performed too well to be store-bought. He uses it to compete in hoverboard racing on planet Rilgar and Kalebo III. In the re-imagined release, Ratchet's hoverboard is instead named the McMarx 4000 Hoverboard.
Ratchet is given an autographed hoverboard by Skidd McMarx, one of the best pro hoverboards, after helping him reach his ship by clearing the sandsharks on planet Aridia. He can then compete in the hoverboard race in Blackwater City on planet Rilgar, taking Skidd's place, and also in the race on Kalebo III to win the Hologuise from Wendall Lumos, the Gadgetron CEO.
In the original Ratchet & Clank, winning the Rilgar race earns him the Platinum Zoomerator add-on that uses quantum technology to convert Ratchet's performed tricks to boosts[2] (an ability available by default in the-reimagined release). Showing this item to Skidd's agent, Don Wonderstar, on Aridia also grants Ratchet the Sonic Summoner. Ratchet also volunteered to be a star advertising a Hoverboard XZ88 for Gadgetron.
Use
The player can use a hoverboard when entering hoverboard races. The hoverboard continually goes forward, and Ratchet can jump with 
and steer. Hovering past green targets on the ground allows Ratchet to boost speed.
The player can perform tricks in the air which grant boosts. In the original Ratchet & Clank, this is done by pressing one of four trick buttons: 
, 
, 
or 
in mid-air, and the 
stick can be moved in any direction to also perform a flip for a greater boost. In the re-imagined release, tricks are performed simply by pressing 
or moving 
in any direction in mid air, and if the landing is straight, the boost gauge will be filled depending on how many tricks were performed. The boost meter can be used by holding the boost button (
in the original Ratchet & Clank, or in the re-imagining) for a speed boost. In the original Ratchet & Clank, this requires the Platinum Zoomerator to be won on Rilgar before it can be used.
In Kalebo III in the original release, Ratchet can pick up rockets and fire them at other racers with .
Tricks
In the original release of Ratchet & Clank, there are specific tricks that can be performed using a combination of , , or , and a different number of flips, when performing tricks in mid-air. Each trick has a name and associated points, which will appear after landing successfully.
The points for each trick diminish each time the trick is used, and the fourth time a trick is used, the points awarded will be the minimum number of points possible when that trick is performed again during that race.
The following are basic tricks that are performed by pressing a single trick button while moving the stick. Unlike more complicated tricks with flips, their points do not diminish on use.

Behind the scenes
The Z3000 Deluxe Hoverboard is the first item acquired in Ratchet & Clank.
In Size Matters, the similar Skyboard is introduced and used to race and win prizes. It allows the user to fly in the air rather than to simply hover above the ground.
