Sounds like you need a jet-powered hovercraft.

An expensive toy, but not unaffordable. Check into Jay Leno's jet powered motorcycle.

What'd be great is if zero point energy could be tapped, and an anti-grav device invented, along with a way to stop forward inertia efficiently enough to not need to touch the ground.
(But, for now, anti-gravity/levitation is the realm of sci-fi.. and zero-point energy is still theoretical.)

Then a ducted fan, electrically driven, and levitation would be slapped onto what would look like a motorcycle chasis and voila, the hoverbike is born..
