Hoverbike is a revolution in aviation, designed to do what a helicopter does, but cost less and do so better.
– It is said that if you give a man a fish, you can feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime –
The objective of this campaign is to kick-start sales of our beautiful 1/3rd scale Hoverbike drone and accessories via your pledges, and to help create a long term income stream that we can use to continue development of the manned Hoverbike.
A revolution in aviation.
The Hoverbike is the result of years worth of R&D. We combined the simplicity of a motorbike and the freedom of a helicopter to create the world’s first flying motorcycle.
When compared with a helicopter, the Hoverbike is cheaper, more rugged and easier to use – and represents a whole new way to fly. The Hoverbike flies like a quadcopter, and can be flown unmanned or manned, while being a safe – low level aerial workhorse with low on-going maintenance.
We are in the final construction stages of the latest manned prototype of Hoverbike, and in a few months we will start flight testing. After the successful completion of test flights we will build a final engineering prototype for submission to aviation certification authorities. This all takes a lot of time and money and raising funds to achieve this is what this campaign is all about. We have a proven track record over the years, and our dedication to the Hoverbike development will continue beyond this kickstarter campaign until we are ready for sale of the manned Hoverbike.
Apart from being a beautiful quadcopter to look at and fly – why are we selling a 1/3rd scale drone?
This drone was originally built as a proof of concept for our latest full-sized Hoverbike prototype. After testing the 1/3rd Hoverbike, we realized that it had lots of features that made it a fantastic drone, not only this – selling this scale Hoverbike to the public would allow us to raise funds to continue the development of the manned version.
Apart from its stunning and original looks, our drone is safe and versatile, and when coupled with a 3DR Pixhawk flight controller it can fly by itself on a pre-determined flight path, return to home, loiter, follow and more!

yeah great idea… People cant even drive well and you want to put them in
air…
Lol imagine if the Cops were about to catch you but then you got on your
hover bike. Bye bye cops!
So how many years till we hovering on speeders of ” Return of the Jedi”?
It’s not new, there is a large two bladed bike sitting at the entrance to
Ft Eustis Va.
It never worked.
The four bladed one might work but looks stupid. If they took the tethers
off the two bladed one it would immediatly go out of control. A three
bladed one in a triangle configuration makes more sense. Problem with all
of these concepts is reliability. The more components the more chance for
something to go wrong. Better have a parachute!
Not enough info here. It seem like the bike is the selling card to sell
these stupid toys.
How high does the bike fly?
How stable is the actual bike?
How fast does it go?
How fast can you stop it from full speed?
Safety hazard if you ask me it’s not a smart idea for public retail. Make
one and use it your self.
Don’t sell it.
It’s a damn retarded retail idea.
But an awesome invention.
all it needs is ground sensors, leg stands for landing, two more fans for
turning, lights to let people know you’re turning and a manger control for
each fan. come one people we should of been made this in 2004..
how much $ cause I fucking want one now, and I don’t mean that shitty
little drone
technology has gotten soooo awesome
lol this motherfucker looks brainwashed or some shit
So cool……….. who wants one? :)))
Wow that looks fkn kook as fk man I want one
Has it escaped everyone that this is essentially a helicopter with center
of gravity raised higher so that it wants to tip over on you? Let me say
it again, it a different way: This is like a helicopter, only more
dangerous.
Hovercar? SCREW THAT IMMA GETA HOVERBIKE!
Death trap 2.0
+Zane Erickson Lol. Good point tho’, that’s a lot of thrust that must be
made, so a lot of air has to be moving really fast to obtain the necessary
thrust to keep you (the rider) up off of the ground and the vehicle up from
it about 2.75 feet or so. That means the likelihood of your head getting
pulled along with the rest of the air in the gigantic air flow right in
front if your fave is very very very high.
That thing is going to be so loud. There’s going to be a bunch of 21st
century Harley Deusch Bags waking me up at 2AM riding by my house in SF…
Sweet idea, but if my mini quadcopter is loud this thing will be crazy.
Focus on sound reduction
He can massacre yourself if you fall in the propellers.
cant lift human?? just another Chinese’s toy. simply worthless junk.
