Zipping down the sidewalk on a hoverboard in New York City could get you a $200 fine. The city recently banned the two-wheeled personal transportation device, but that didn't stop it from overtaking searches for drones this year.

Searches for "hoverboards" started trending in summer 2015 and rose more than 500% since July. In the Lexus video trailer running on YouTube, it shows how Slide skims the water and sidewalks.

This year, drones moved into the "toy" category, ranking No. 1, leading Shopkins at No. 2, Hoverboards at No. 3, Leo Dimensions at No. 4, and Star Wars BB-8 Droid rounding out the top 5.

Analyzing this year’s top-trending apparel list looks a lot like the 1990s. Not only have we seen searches for these 90s fashion trends more than double over the past year, but each city has its own 90s fashion item of choice. Shoppers in Chicago are more interested in Levis, while shoppers in New York are on the hunt for Adidas Superstar shoes, according to Google.

Trending apparel ranks Adult Onesies at No. 1, Adidas Superstar at No. 2, Levi's Jeans at No. 3, Shinola Watches at No. 4, and Bomber Jackets at No. 5, according to Google Trends.

Overall, IBM predicts that Cyber Monday online sales will grow by more than 18%, compared with 2014. Driven by a surge in mobile shopping, consumers indicate that Samsung, Sony and LG TVs as well as Apple Watch and Beats by Dre are at the top of their shopping lists.

This year, IBM got in the forecasting game using the supercomputer Watson to predict the top holiday Cyber Monday products and trends. Similar to Google's search trends, IBM Watson identifies hoverboards as a top product this year, bringing consumers one step closer to the fictional product that debuted in the 1985 film Back to the Future. In social sites, Watson finds that conversations around these self-balancing scooters are driven by high-profile celebrities like Wiz Khalifa and Usain Bolt.
