Say No To Electric Car, Say YES To Flying Bike
In 1983, the “Star Wars” crazy kid that I was saw “Return of the Jedi” six times that summer. This was the final movie in what we were told was the only “Star Wars” trilogy. Anyway, in every one of George Lucas’ movies it seems we were treated to some fantasy vehicle that made you think, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to have one of THOSE?!” In “Return of the Jedi” it was the “speeder bikes.”
I’m far from the boy who thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to have one of THOSE?!” However now I (and you) can say, “Wouldn’t it be cool to have one of THESE?!” According to The NY Post, the world’s first flying bike has gone on sale in Japan for $55,000. I am beyond fired up. Now I’m not saying it’s sleek or convenient (it’s 12-feet long and weighs 661 pounds), BUT for cheaper than most electric cars you can fly around in excess of 60 mph!
I’m not sure how high you can fly but imagine this. You’re driving home from downtown Charlotte after a long and stressful day at work. Interstate 77S has a HUGE wreck and traffic backup for miles. If you’re in a car, you’re screwed. However, YOU have this flying bike. You are able to hover over cars. You are able to fly above any and all traffic jams. I know, right? A flying bike may now be the ultimate must-have.
