Sound like a pipe dream? Note that these pictures aren’t renderings, the Hoverbike is a very real machine.  The Hoverbike is approaching its first untethered test flight, a giant leap forward for individual aviation.  It has been a stable test subject when tethered, and Malloy is raising funds to perform the final tweaks before Hoverbike takes to the skies untethered. Once the prototype is complete and the Hoverbike is ready for the market, Malloy hopes to begin by selling 100 Hoverbikes per year.  At that rate, they’ll be priced at around $50,000 USD per unit.  Once he can boost production accordingly, he hopes to bring the price down to a rate similar to common motorcycle prices.  Hey, we may still be a ways away from flying cars, but I’ll gladly be pacified with a flying motorcycle.  Check please!
