Screw ground based motorcycles

[GatorBuell]

This is my next bike. 195mph with a 95 mile range. I just have to cut down some trees in my yard to land it. The morning traffic commute can kiss my blow hole.

i'll take one, how much?

 

[xlr8n_xb]

That thing is sick?! Wonder how many birds can be processed through that blade before you go down? I want one.

I'm guessing it's air cooled??

 

[wolfo68]

looks like it's starting at 45-50 aud, so like 50k for us

So sick. I want one. I will just put in a couple extra hours this week and i will be golden.

 

[NwRider]

I want one! Obviously I wasn't the only kid dreamin about owning a speeder bike after seeing Return of the Jedi. Haulin ass on that would be more fun than killing Ewoks. Oops... my dork is showing. I will shut up now.

That's insane. Would like to see the video of it flying/hovering.

Why split lanes when you can hover over the cars and shoot the hot summer air down into some hot shots convertible. You can always dock that thing on top of a 16 wheeler too to conserve gas. NICE!

 

[wolfo68]

it says you can talk to them about buying a prototype if you want to help with the troubleshooting

and it should be classed as an ultralite

 

[rideboarder589]

...bc thats seems like the kind of thing i wanna help troubleshoot, tell ya what come find me when they have all the kinks worked out

 

[wolfo68]

if I had the money I'd do it in a heartbeat, I'd love to freak people out by flying around on something they've never seen

 

[GatorBuell]

I wonder what the laws would be about take off and landing in other than an airport.

If these things ever get popular im going to buy a cessna and start my own inflight refueling company.

if they are calling it an ultraligt the rules are pretty lax. I believe ultralights can take off and land anywhere they have enough room. and they don't require radios or any other electronics. You just can't go over a specified hight or in unauthorized airspace (airports). it would seem that this would be more of a ground effect kind of vehicle anyway, not to mention two fans front and back would make it unstable as all hell. There is a reason they are asking for help... Still cool though, if they worked I would want one.
