BIKE to the future! Japanese
BIKE to the future! Japanese startup reveals brand new concept for an incredible hoverbike.
The futuristic vehicle with a sleek design aims to target the supercar target audience, but will cost consumers a whopping $700,000 or 77.7 million yen.
The "XTurismo Limited Edition" from Tokyo-based drone start-up A.L.I. Technologies is equipped with a conventional engine and four battery-powered motors and promises to fly for 40 minutes at up to 100 kph.
The start-up, whose backers include industrial heavyweights Mitsubishi Electric and Kyocera, demonstrated the bike with a short flight at a racetrack near Mount Fuji.
In the near term its uses will be limited to such sites, Katano said. In addition to attracting deep pocketed early adopters, the bike could be used by rescue teams to reach difficult to access locations, he said.
Strict regulations in Japan driven by safety concerns have hobbled the growth of sectors like ridesharing. Pending rules changes will extend the bike's potential applications, Katano said.
Commercial success for A.L.I. Technologies, whose suppliers include engine maker Kawasaki Heavy, would help reinforce Japan's industrial edge amid a generational shift towards new technology such as autonomous and electric vehicles.
