This flying motorcycle is real and travels at over 63 mph, but costs almost a million dollars: “a breakthrough in personal air mobility”

It looks like something out of a science fiction movie, but it is completely real.

Update:

It’s not a science fiction movie, even though we’ve been seeing very similar vehicles in the movies for many years. It’s Volonaut’s flying motorcycle. “Welcome to the future,” reads the manufacturer’s official website. It costs $880,000, and to reserve one, you must make a non-refundable deposit of $2,000, followed by an initial payment of $80,000, as units are limited and there is a waiting list.

This lightweight vehicle can transport a single person through the air at a maximum speed of 63 mph and, according to its manufacturers, can be refueled in just one minute. However, not everything is as good as it seems, as its maximum range is only about 10 minutes. In other words, it is a vehicle for limited use, not for long journeys or traveling too far from the point of origin.
