Hoverbike news!
Just like Back to the Future’s Hoverboard, a Sydney-made Hoverbike could soon be what we’re all riding to work.
Made by an Australian man, the flying bike – which has sceptics questioning its validity online – has a weight of 105 kilograms without fuel, its rotors are made of Tasmanian Oak and it will be able to hover an estimated 10,000 feet above the ground.
But, according to its creator, Chris Malloy, 32, from North Ryde, it was not targeted at “recreational use”. It was more tailored for use at wildlife parks, in films, cattle mustering, search and rescue and aerial surveying, he said.
