- 7 years ago
This footage courtesy of Hoversurf, the Russian company behind the world's first commercial manned quadcopter, released test flight footage of their newest generation flying bike dubbed the ‘Scorpion 3’ in Moscow on Thursday. The test rider started up the blades on the machine and floated through the air in a Moscow warehouse, demonstrating the full capabilities of the new hoverbike.
The Scorpion 3 can carry up to 265 pounds during flight, zoom along at speeds of over 30 miles per hour, reach an altitude of 33 feet high, and stay airborne for up to 27 minutes. If you're interested in getting your hands on this piece of future technology, it won't come cheap - the vehicle is available for the wallet-killing price of $150,000.
