Called the Scorpion-3, this hoverbike is electric-powered and is efficient in lifting itself and a driver in the air. Talking about 

the design, it is said to combine a traditional motorcycle with quadcopter technology which allows the user to control the vehicle smoothly. With technology like this, the first thing that comes to our minds is the safety of the person driving this aircraft and the company has taken that aspect into consideration as well. Using proprietary software, the range and velocity of the aircraft has been limited so that the person driving it isn’t harmed.

The design is said to be inspired by heavy-duty, sport-utility motorbike frames, combined with flight qualities to give speed and enabling it to surf in the air by changing the altitude and direction. This concept is uber cool and way ahead of our time, and that itch to try it is quite normal; but there are certain things that one needs to keep in mind. The prototype that has been unveiled is being targeted to attract fanatic sports lovers, but the propeller blades can prove slightly discomforting for anyone, no matter how experienced or adventurous they are. But, if a company can design such an exceptional masterpiece, we are sure they can figure out a solution as well. Till then, enjoy this video where the hoverbike is shown in its full glory.
