over 35 or 40 mph.

This guy can go 200km/h. That's probably 300 or 400 mph converted.

BiBob.... 200km/hr = 120miles/hr (still darn fast for a human)

A kilometer is over half a mile, so it would convert to something closer to 100 mph.

I don’t deny that his invention can achieve that speed. I do deny that, standing on it, he or anybody else, could either stay on it or control it. Long ago, in my younger years I had a BMW R74/5 motorcycle. If, without a fairing, I even got it up to 60 mph, it became very hard to control because of the terrific force of the wind. Same thing’s going to happen to him as he increases his speed. If you don’t believe me, just try standing outside in a hurricane and see what happens.

100 km/h equates to roughly 60 mph. Wind resistance, etc will affect actual loaded speeds, but for fast insertion of troops, lots of potential

Actually a little over 124 mph. Still, very impressive

That’s 138 mph...still dubious in stand up mode...if it had a seat perhaps.
