    STORY: Is this the future of transportation?This is the world's first flying bikeThe XTURISMO hoverbike is capable of flying for 40 minutes and can reach speeds of up to 62 mph (Thad Szott, Detroit Auto Show co-chair) “I feel like I'm literally 15 years old and I just got out of Star Wars and jumped on their bike. I mean, it's awesome!" You know, it was exhilarating. It's not vicious, right? It's comfortable, it's really comfortable taking off and landing. So, there's no, like, jerky-jerk. It's literally very, very smooth and I can't wait for the future. I'm so excited." Created by Japanese startup AERWINS,the bike is already on sale in JapanA smaller version is slated for a U.S. release in 2023 with an estimated price tag of $777,000

          Bicycle mechanics???...That's why their first flight was only 120 ft... They should have hired an airplane mechanic???
