I wonder how all that unsprung weight and 2 front & rear wheels affects the handling? It seems to me more of a quadbike.
Great idea though but with 10 min flight time hardly useable in the real world

We are about to launch this one - feels like flying as well... perfectly quiet and an hour of fun without disturbing anyone else - not even the fish;-) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/12/29/7C94211B-295C-4CCF-B46C-D513A2745E38.jpg) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upq_ujaCb80stay tuned... fits in a Morgan - or at least on the rack - so no need to swap.

That's neat Miklos I'll forward it to my son, he and his South African girlfriend live near Newquay and surf year round this maybe is an alternative for non surfing weather..
It will have to be environmentally sustainable as they have recently celebrated their first year of living totally off grid.

You`ve got the point - it perfect in non surfing weather:)
It´s electric - so all they need is a bit of power.
It´s not as sustainable as using winds and tides - but just the next tiny step.
More sustainable than anything else motorized on water...
It will be jet propelled - firs one on the market hopefully.

I think this Australian one is already on the market. https://au.fliteboard.com/product-detailsThe Hover Bike is interesting, notice at 2 seconds into the video the wheels are about as wide as a car but at 5 seconds they are next to each other so pretty much the width of a motor bike.

Thanks for that it looks amazing Chris.
