They combined the freedom of the helicopter and the simplicity of the motor bike to produce this magnificent invention, the world’s first Hoverbike – Malloy, yeah; the final product is a flying bicycle!
The man hunger for flying dates thousands of years ago when the first transportation appeared and the horses were used to transport them from point A to point B. Since then the men was exited of the flying of the birds and had the same wish to fly. But enough history!
Do you think that this Hoverbike is the future of the single flaying machines? Is this a realistic method, which involves hovering technology and the inventors describe it as “revolution in aviation, designed to do what a helicopter does but costs less like a motorcycle”?
We think it is! Because they (Malloy Aeronautics (MA) funded by Kickstarter) are in the final construction stage of the testing prototype of Hoverbike. After the successful tests, which they think would be successful; they will move further to get the aviation licenses and finally sell this Hoverbike as regular flying vehicle on the market.
Watch the video and tell us what you think, is this prototype destined to succeed or the humanity is not ready for such invention?
Good concept but what happens when someone decides not to put a parachute on? It’s one thing not to wear your seat belt but if you come off of that at 30 ft in the air you are screwed. And what happens when something fails mechanically and you come flying down at 70 or 80? You Re definitely dead I feel like it’s not worth it. It would be a fun to bit just not practical at all
Well that’s why you will always wear a parachute Zach. Plain and simple 😉
I bet they said the same thing to the Wright brothers. We already aircraft Zach and they hold way more than just 1 person. At least if you crash on this your not taking 100’s with you.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that Dennis 🙂
You have too many ifs, you might as well not to cross the street! All new innovations take risk. First airplane invented by the Wright Brother and now we have jets, airbuses, supersonic and much more.
I agree with you Kim Lee. Sometimes we should take the risk and have benefits of the final outcome.
says a fearful man who probably believes that had god wanted humans to fly they would have their own wings.
Well you know how they say: Fortune favors the brave 😉
Awesome how do I invest?
Here is a link to their official website: http://www.hover-bike.com/MA/. So you can contact them and invest in their innovation.
it takes about 500 ft of fall or more for a parachute to open and another 300-500 ft to decelerate.
So a parachute isn’t going to work
Let’s hope the maker comes up with a solution before this hoverbike enters production.
I don’t care about the 1/3 scale prototype. I wanna see the real thing in action before I bother dropping any money into the project. Waste of time.
Of course the real thing would be what everyone wants Tony. I hope we get to see it sooner.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the link Travis.
