Hoverbike

A hoverbike is a vehicle that can hover, but that otherwise resembles a motorbike, mainly by having at least two propulsive portions - one in front of and one behind the driver.

Aeronautic motors

Starting in 2014, Malloy Aeronautics has been developing a hoverbike that has experimented with quadcopter-like lift.[1] In 2015, the company announced collaboration with the United States Defense Department at the Paris Airshow.[2]

In April 2016, British inventor Colin Furze announced he had created a hoverbike using two paramotors.[3]

The Aero-X is a hoverbike set for commercial sale in 2017. It is designed to carry up to two people.[4]
