Flying Bikes! - Cormanus - 11-13-2018
Looks like the flying bike is coming and, of course, the police are getting it first. They don’t look all that comfortable on it, though:

I'm not sure what makes that a bike?
RE: Flying Bikes! - KiowaEagle_imp - 11-14-2018
Fall off that thing and you'd get chopped to pieces!
RE: Flying Bikes! - Bheezy27403_imp - 11-14-2018
Definitely couldn't get me on that thing. Need some sort of shroud over the blades.

I'd ride one,, no more slick roads, wet leaves, pot holes,gravel, oil or antifreeze slick spots, dead animals in a curve, nails in the road if someone pulls out in front of you go over them,..... I like it. Little noisy though

Not for me. I'm not that kind of Flynrider
I wonder what happens at 60 mph and 16 ft. when one of those motors or propellers gives up the ghost.

Yeah, saw this. These will be a slice.
RE: Flying Bikes! - Roper_imp - 11-16-2018
Hoversurf, a company in California (where else?) will begin selling them next year. Cost = $150K with rider training included. Weight = 250 lbs of carbon fiber. 25 minutes per battery charge. Hover at about 16 ft with top speed at 60 mph. And yes, the rotors will be enclosed. I think Honda should make them. Honda already makes private jets. We need a Honda rotorbike.
