MOTORCYCLE PING!....................
VIDEO AT LINK!.................
Pretty sure ducted fans would have been a much better option than the Slicer/Dicer they show.
Awesome! A flying guillotine.
Un-enclosed rotors on a near-ground vehicle?
What could go wrong?
This thing is safe until somebody dies flying one which will happen.
“Get on da choppah!”
This device gives the term “chopper” a whole new literal meaning.
And the pool opens on when the first person will lose a limb or be decapitated by one of these things is now officially open.
I want one too. I can’t wait to do loop-de-loops and barrel rolls and astound my family and friends.
It slices, it dices, it Julianes...just don’t get drunk and fall off the thing.
Very cool...
Years ago (1983), my girlfriend and I took my grandmom to the movies to see “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi”.
She flipped out over the speeder bikes the Imperial troops were using, the scene where they were racing through the forest. Thought it was THE coolest thing she’d ever seen. She loved that movie.
That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the article.
Thanks for a good memory... from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
A duplicate thread on this has been pulled.
I commented that the video showed Dubai Police markings on the vehicle (also Arabic) and the voices had British accents.
Here in the US - insurance premiums would be flying higher than the contraption.
How long before they’re commandeered by gangs of leather-clad outlaws bent on mayhem?
Hoverbike by Cuisinart.
For $150,000, I think I’ll wait for the ones with anti-gravity motors with no blades or noise. You just gotta know that DARPA must have at least a prototype with all the years they’ve had to play with the take from Roswell and other crash sites. For that money, you could probably go to one of the ‘Stans and get a clapped out ‘80’s Hind that would still fly. If it the guns intact, that would be useful, too.
It slices! It dices!
Meh. I’ll wait for the speederbike from Return of the Jedi.
I want one!.................

Don’t fall off, those blades can take a bite out of you quickly.
Way to many moving parts and solid objects awaiting contact for me, like the driver and the ERF.
At least they didn’t name it the Icarus.
