Is this actually true? It is not obvious to someone somewhat versed in physics how this is enabled by room temperature super conductors unless the entire riding surface is magnetized.

It does require a magnetized riding surface. Lexus made one!

All of earths surface is electro-statically charged. So you can electro-static repulse yourself from it..
