The electric sky racer that puts you in the pilot’s seat
This sleek, 190lbs vehicle is like no other. powered by eight electric motors and eight swappable batteries, giving you the same power as a Tesla — about 84 kWh.
It’s kind of like a massive drone, but in this case, you sit right in the middle of the lightweight aluminum space frame and a carbon-Kevlar composite body, ready to take to the skies.
On a full battery, you can travel for 20 minutes at a top speed of 63 miles per hour and soar up to an altitude of 1,500 feet. It includes safety features like a “virtual cushion” for smoother landings.
