Designed by Chris Alloy, an Australian man, the bike is capable of traveling at speeds of up to 173mph at 10,000 feet.
It could potentially travel even higher, but then users would have to carry oxygen
Since it’s classified as an ultralight, you won’t technically need a pilot’s license, although a parachute will likely be a good idea. And for better or worse, the hoverbike is shaping up to be affordable to the point where people who really shouldn’t be riding around on one of these will probably be able to: a production run of 100 a year will peg them at $40,000 each, and if 1,000 are ordered, that cost could drop to something comparable to a performance motorcycle.
