The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/16 ... n_a_house/]Real, hovering SPEEDER BIKE can be YOURS for cheaper than a house
"Aerofex claims the Aero-X can achieve an airspeed of up to 45mph (72kph) while hovering at an altitude of up to 12 feet (3.66m) above the ground – although Aerofex suggests most riders will feel comfortable at around 5 feet." Sticker price is $85,000. Delivery in 2017.

Nah, it's just another GEV. Still, it's got more potential then whatever Moller's been pushing for years. For at least this one functions without a tether.

I've heard about this before. Never thought they would be going to market with it so soon. What I heard seemed promising, though... You ride it somewhat like a motorcycle in that the way you shift your weight affects where it will go.
