World's First Flying Bike

[Lily]

Made by a Japanese start up. Looks fun, reminds me of a Sea do, which are also fun.

... I wouldn't mind taking one out for a run ...

It would be cool.

The noise pollution will be a problem. And I wonder how efficient fighting gravity is versus fighting road friction.

But anyone who has flown a modern drone (I fly my Mavic Mini pretty regularly) knows that the acceleration and maneuverability is pretty remarkable. Scale those up, and it would be extreme!!!!

Not a bike though....

Cool drone!

Rolling with gravity takes less energy than flight against gravity. Cool high energy intensity vehicle though.... even if it can't get any real elevation.

Back in the day, people like Lily would’ve called this a UFO. Lol

Lily fights gravity on the daily.... when she tries going upright or pops a squat....

No redundancy though. We're a long way off from this...

My Mavic Mini weighs 249 grams with the battery.

I would think they could scale that up and build something that could be a personal vehicle. It would be fuckin' LOUD though.

in what way is that a fucking bike ?

Well, it's not a car. What he is sitting on looks like a frame of a motorcycle, sometimes called a bike.

a frame is a bike

a frame is a bike

Without a bike frame, you don't have much of a bike, do ya? Maybe two wheels and handlebars...ride that, 360.

lololol

 

[Frood]

Bike needs two wheels for cycling....motorised or otherwise.

That contraption has 4 rotors and lieu of them not cycling on Terra Firma, it should be called a Sky-doo or an Air-Quad....

 

[Frood]

That was a bizarre down vote....
