      That one's not a hoverbike, and thus made of much less Win.
      (Still cool, though. )

      We are just one step away from speeder bikes.

      Not only do I want one, I need one. What I find particularly cool is how far you can get on this thing, with a relatively small amount of fuel. Personal aviation vehicles need way more research.

      A vessel with a design recognizable as being inspired by a bike, with the ability to hover?

      I've heard he's looking to put this bad boy into production sometime next year. Price tag is going to be $40,000USD. Insurance.... Probably through the roof..lol but I definitely want this.

      Isn't there already a thread about this? I recall making a joke about Flanders and a comb and a piece of tissue paper before :/ Simpsons fans get it

      40,000 USD? That's all? That's fairly cheap if you ask me. Also I don't think you'd be able to ride it down the street unless it attains street legal status. I reckon if'n you can't do that, there ain't no point in buying it.

      Why the fuck would you ride it on the street lol?
      It flies man.

      O' - If you want one bad enough....

      If you really can't wait and would like to purchase a Hoverbike now, we can build you a working prototype.
      Please contact us for more info.

      Says that on the buy page.

      Or donate.

      I've really wanted to build a hovering UFO type thing of my own. I don't think it would be too hard.
      The most expensive thing would be the shell to put over it. You'd have to get a custom mold most likely.
      Or buy some sort of hollow UFO thing. Someone probably sells em.

      The only problem I have with this bike is that it is easy enough to fall off bikes when they're on the ground.
      I wouldn't really want to be tipping this thing forward to go forward. They should just make the propellers move around instead.

      It might, however, kill all your future children. Ouch.

      You've got a point. I suppose there'd be some air restrictions then? I'm reaching here.

      Edit: I wonder why he doesn't cover the surface area of the propellers so nothing can fall in them and mess up the blades?

      apparently there's no restrictions coz it's an ultralight vehicle. Although no doubt if it becomes used more the government will make up some new law so you have to get a special license and shit. Like those little motorbikes.

      They said on the site they're gonna put a mesh over it. Probably a good idea haha
      Although I would think if it's too thick it might slow the propellers down. Probably gotta compromise between small enough holes for arms/birds not to get through but big enough to allow good air flow.
