Have you ever watched an anime called Kiki's Delivery Service? It's an anime aired back in 1989.

There's this boy named Tombo created his own flying bicycle, back in the day it would've been impossible mostly due to the amount of effort needed to spin the propeller isn't enough from human power.

But now we have Yamaha & Bosch mid drive.

@ 1:07:18, Tombo introduced his prototype to Kiki and went for a test ride.
@ 1:39:46, Tombo is riding his finished product.

Here's the link to video, when you click the video ads might pop up so you just have to close them.

What do you think? Would it be possible to make Tombo's bicycle with today's technology?
 
My great grandfather did it but could never find a bike rack to lock it up.
