Watch The First Ever Transforming
Watch The First Ever Transforming Jet-Powered Flying Motorbike.
This is the Lazareth LMV 496, which is the world’s first transforming flying electric motorbike. Lazareth has a jet engine in the hub of each wheel, and hydraulic actuators that tilt the four wheels out and up, forming a configuration something like a jet-powered hoverbike. In its normal bike form, it is certified to ride on the road, just like the LMV847 Quad bike.
But the main difference between the 2 bikes is, at a press of a button the bike starts it’s transformation. Firstly 2 center stands come down to support the weight of the bike. Then each wheel tilts up, so the jet engines in the hubs are now facing down, and after waiting about 60 seconds for the jets to pre-heat, you can lift off.
The Moto Volante is the world’s first actual flying motorbike. It can be driven on the road and flown in the air when its wheels fold out and upward to become jet-powered thrust pods. French custom auto/moto maker Ludovic Lazareth has a long history of building wacky and bizarre one-offs and short-run vehicles, but the Moto Volante flying motorcycle is his most ambitious yet. The new video shows this beast of a thing taking off and achieving a stable hover on tethers.
The intention of this vehicle is for the rider to be able to cruise it on the road, and then when they’ve had it with traffic, they can pull over to a suitable launch area. With just the press of a button, the bike converts from ride mode to fly mode, and, after waiting about 60 seconds for the jets pre-heat, the driver can lift off and leave the gridlock behind as a pilot.
Appearance-wise, it is an evolution of Lazareth’s own mind-boggling LM-847 – a tilting four-wheeler built around a fire-breathing 470-horsepower Maserati engine. But the Moto Volante is on another level. Placed in the hub of each wheel is a 96,000-rpm JetCat jet turbine, as well as hydraulic actuators that tilt the four wheels out and up, forming a configuration something like a jet-powered quadcopter.
