Someone has invented a hover bike! I’ve been waiting for this since 1983’s “The Return Of The Jedi”. These are quite as fast or streamlined as in the movie, but still……. They’re bikes that lift off the ground and go places. Actually they look more like they’d be out of a Captain America movie because they fly by using turbines like drones do. They’ve got two main, big turbines underneath the chassis and four smaller turbines on the sides that help with stabilization. The demo video shows the driver just kind of floating around with a couple lazy turns and not really going anywhere, so you can’t tell if the thing has any giddy-up. The current version of the hover bike costs almost $800K. But, they hope to get the price down to a mere $50k within a few years.
I’m curious as to how far they can go. They’re hybrids, running on both gas and electric. I’d get one, but I’m afraid that it’d be stolen by Ewoks. There’s an infestation of them in my garden. They keep me up all night playing drums, dancing, and singing “Gluck Gluck” all night.
