Aerofex Hover Bike

This amazing bit of hover bike technology started off in the 1960's but was abandoned because of stability and rollover problems.  Using some modern technology and thinking Areofex, a California company, has started tinkering and improving on this old hover bike.

But Aerofex does not plan to immediately develop and sell a manned version. Instead, the aerospace firm sees the aerial vehicle as a test platform for new unmanned drones — heavy-lift robotic workhorses that could use the same hover technology to work in agricultural fields, or swiftly deliver supplies to search-and-rescue teams in rough terrain.

Bummer!  Video of this hover bike in action after the break.
