🎥 Dirt Bike-Inspired Passenger Drone

Check out this dirt bike-inspired passenger drone that, let’s face it, looks like the lovechild of an placid rocking-horse and man-eating ride-on chainsaw! Anyone else reckon this concept hoverbike, made by the Russian company Hoversurf, is reminiscent of those rad Speeder Bikes seen in Star Wars?

Intrigued? Well, this aerial weapon is called the “Scorpion-3” and it’s the first fully manned hoverbike in the world. But this prototype sure doesn’t look OH&S-friendly. Which is exactly why, in the footage below, the ballsy test pilot (sporting all the protective moto gear he can get his hands on, it seems) claims it so hard after landing successfully … all limbs intact.

If you’re interested in a drone that won’t slice your limbs off, check out the Ghost Drone from EHang.
