Escape Traffic Jam, Fly At 100 Kmph With This New Hoverbike

Transportation in the future will surely move from roads to highways and other forms of transport. At the same time, Pod Taxi and Hyperloop services will be used by people for transportation and delivery. In particular, special vehicles using large air space, such as airplanes, air hoses or flying cars, and the excellent Hoverbike will be the familiar means in the near future.

A Russian company - Hoversurf, which regularly manufactures drones and is planning to expand the field, has unveiled a motorcycle called the Scorpion 3. More importantly, the latest update (S3 2019) of the Hoverbike is now available for pre-order at $150,000 (~ Rs 1.1 Cr) and an additional Rs 7.3 Lakh for reservation.

The company used only one element for the bike's monocoque frame to ensure the rigidity and integrity of the vehicle's structure. As a result, it weighs only 114 kg and offers more room to feature a bigger battery. Elevated flight safety is offered by the company at 16 feet.

According to Hoversurf, the vehicle that is partly motorcycle and partly quadcopter is powered by a 12.3 kWh hybrid battery, which allows the hoverbike to fly in the air for 10 to 25 minutes with a single driver.

The company has adopted new engines with a capacity of 33 kWh each, which powers it with a top speed of 100 km/h. The manufacturer also did not say whether it could fly faster.

Obviously, safety is a crucial factor for means of transport, especially an eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing). As such, the manufacturer has equipped Hoverbike with certain safety features such as Auto - Landing (AL), Auto - take - off (AT), Alt Hold, Manual and RC control.

As claimed by Hoversurf, Hoverbike also employs an advanced security system (electronic triple-layer security systems), including noise and visual warning systems, anti-jamming, emergency landing, gas and passive systems with embedded deformation, pilot protection elements, and electric fences.
