Oh sure, all the zillions driving cars in CA will be using flying motorcycles in a few years. That’s going to happen, sure.
Geezuz...

(also called skycycle) (a) A motorcycle-like vehicle which used an oversized lift belt motor to fly, and a force-field generator to stop the wind. Such flycycles were used circa 2646 by Garvey and Jilson on Down.
(b) The Puppeteer-built type of flycycle carried aboard the starship Lying Bastard (aka Liar), used by the First Ringworld Expedition in 2850-1, was a dumbbell-shaped vehicle composed of two four-foot spheres, with a seat in the constriction. Nessus’ seat was a reclining “belly-bed” with three groves for his legs. The Humans’ seats were padded contour chairs, as was the larger Kzin’s seat. Half the rear section of the flycycle was luggage space, with a harness for hanging additional gear. It was equipped with an autokitchen slot, a communication system projecting small holograms, and a cooler-extractor which condensed water from the air. They were propelled by a thruster, controlled by pedals and a joystick, and had a maximum speed above Mach 1; the occupant was protected by a sonic fold. They had toilet facilities which were easy to use, but undignified. [Spoiler alert: Ringworld] Speaker-To-Animals used a flycycle to maneuver in space to investigate the shadow square wire, before the Liar crashed on the Ringworld. The flycycles also had a hidden emergency thrust setting which increased the speed to about Mach 4. All four of the expedition’s flycycles were caught in the speed trap in Hotrufan City and pulled inside the police building. Nessus’ flycycle was later anchored inside that building to propel what became the Improbable.
Reference: (a) “The Handicapped”, (b) Ringworld chs. 9-11, 17-22, 24

A better idea, the Condor motorcycle / helicopter from the MASK cartoon without the weapons.

I got in my Moller Skycar, that I bought in 1980, and flew right over, with my wife...Morgan Fairchild.

If you have the blade on right, @ 22,000 RPM, you would need to turn it upside down to fly it. I expect a short flight if you are going to mow through the trees from the bottom up. I'd also invest in 5-point harness and a helmet. Let me know when and where you want to try it. I'll bring the beer and record the historic event. LOL!
