Flying eBike

[Timpo]

Basically, very similar to drone.
Looks like the concept of flying ebike has existed for a long time.
I wonder if anyone would make it into production

You would go deaf in about 5 minutes on one of those.

Fortunately the battery life is likely only about 45 seconds.

You had better hope that if those do start appearing around, that they are regulated a LOT better than the current generation of small drones are. Those are a total fiasco.....

The first link says, "The FBike team states that the vehicle is not expected to ever go into production, it's just being created for marketing purposes." Regardless, what would be the point of such a contraption? It would be too unwieldy to ride, and having to carry the extra weight of the bicycle parts only serves to further limit the flying time. Dumb idea.
