An all-electric, carbon fibre, pilot-operated, twin joystick controlled quadrotor by San Jose design company Hoversurf.
Currently in development, the hover bike has a claimed 21km range, 2.5 hour charge time and a top speed of 64km/h. Qualifying as an ultralight, it doesn’t require a pilot’s licence to operate (in the US at least).
A $10,000 (€8,700) deposit guarantees first dibs on the initial production models, which will cost $150,000 (€130,500) each.
Keep your feet well tucked in, is all.

sitting precariously over 4 spinning blades. What could go wrong.
Yep, first thing I thought – a strong wind and you could find yourself face first in them!
Might need to go back to the drawing board on this one!
21km range… 2.5hr charge time…
That’s 9 or 10 charges, or a whole day+ on a one way trip from Dublin to Galway…
Should rename it the Heliuseless! :)
CAnt see how those exposed blade could pass any security labeling …
