--></style></head><body lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple">I think the most impressive part of this bike is that batteries exist that are lightweight enough to get this thing airborne, even if for only 6 minutes. I was immediately looking for a wire tether in the Czech only video. Although I bet this thing would be loud enough to need ear protection with extended use. It also seems they haven't figured out a good way for a driver to control it from the bike itself and hence why it is remote control only now. A bike steering wheel is by design a two dimensional input device where on motorcycles one hand controls the break and the other the throttle and gearing. Not sure where to fit the third dimension into such controls. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Ed Vernon <ed@agrfx.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

They are flying just a dummy in the bike seat. Also they don't show the bike riding on the ground. So I am not sure if the bike is rideable with the propellers attached. But the thing flies, so that's cool. They say it can fly for only about 6 minutes. </p><p></p></div></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html></body></html>
