Drone bike, legal in US, no license required!

An interesting product but not for me thanks. Too many ways to get injured. A fall to the ground due to a mechanical issue would surely leave a mark. Falling off into the rotating blades due to loss of control would definitely hurt as well.

IMO, a safer, more stable design would be to have the pilot below the blades like a helicopter.

Definitely an interesting idea though. Thanks for posting.
 
Sometimes they overlook the obvious hazards.

NASA rocket scientists in the 60's said a mostly oxygen atmosphere was safe for the moon rockets. I was in high school at the time and even I thought...that seems dumb. Then three astronauts died a horrible death in a Gemini capsule fire and they had to redo the concept.
 
What happens if one motor fails? Does the torque on the other motors cause this machine to flip up-side-down?
And what happens if one blade snaps off? Does the machine shake itself until ground impact?
Interesting concept.
 
If someone is actually selling these things, I hope they have adequate liability insurance.
