Who's Riding this Bike first?

Everyone knows Hoverbikes don't work on water.

Unless you've got POWAH

Even if he does put a fine mesh screen over the top of both fans, (he says they plan to) the problem then becomes trying to jump off one at altitude will likely suck you to it!

So, what happens to the "hoverbike" once you jump off at 10k feet?

173 mph on something like that? that's impressive.

From my understanding most of the controls are manual or FBY , the end-model will be computer controlled which will help stability even more.

A even safer alternative would be to use 4 fans instead of two, making it even more stable from tipping over. You could even use 2 engines instead of 1 (Like he's using now I believe) so that it would work with one failure.

It becomes my hoverbike... If it makes it.

I can't wait to see the Tom Kruse commercials pushing these to seniors.

I'll wait for version 2, if they survive the lawsuits.

Yep, this pretty much sums it up for me. If there were lawsuits for the tame-ass little Segway, this thing will be a huge lawsuit magnet.

Stupid people and lawyers pretty much encompass 100% of our planet... And these are the very two groups that ensure you and I will never get that sleek Jetsons future we were promised.
