Kit Makes Motorcycle Fly

It’s the ultimate way to beat traffic jams. Just take off and fly over them. A new $19,800 product called the Flite Bike kit transforms a Honda Reflex scooter into a flying motorcycle. The kit includes a custom Flite Bike airframe, ram-air powered parachute canopy wing and a 65-hp Rotax 582 liqiuid-cooled 2-cycle aircraft engine with a 4-blade composite prop. The assembled unit can carry the whole 550-pound Flight Bike assembly — not to mention a 250 pilot and — enough fuel to fly 2.5 hours. The company claims the rig represents “the world’s first roadable powered parachute.”

    Flying Motorcycle Super Sky Cycle at Sun-n-fun - Flight Nest

    [...] We’ve previously discussed a flying motorcycle so I snapped a picture of this Super Sky Cycle yesterday at Sun-n-Fun. While I’m sure the builder will say this craft is “perfectly safe”… I’m sorry but my butt isn’t going in that seat. It looks really cool though! [...]
