Ok, then I think this is cheaper and faster.

Not the 1st guy to develop the hoverbike...although HE states so.
Popular Mechanics had blueprints as far back as the 50's you could build from. Also in europe ...can't remember where someone built and has test flown successfully a heli-bike...similar concept ...definitely not the 1st guy......just a cooler design....problem with the design would be the extreme delicacy of stabilization in this instance...compared to other designs....considering the body-hugging nature of the seated figure...the likelihood of flipping the vehicle is much higher. I've messed with hoverboards to know how PITA center of grav. and balance can be in design....not to mention there is virtually no resistance to turn, pivot or stop on a dime compared to land based traveling vehicles that can "grip" the substance they are travelling upon...giving them greater control.
Current hover design...for the foreseeable bit... is still not good for response... stopping on a dime...stuff that you really need at high velocity..

And sure there is a working model ...The bike shown with rider currently is 1/3 the size ...ie. it's a remote control drone with a ken doll (made up to look like TRON) tied to non-functioning handle bars.

If he can get past dealing with balance, center of grav and similar probs...the full size model may be worth it...as long as no one shoots at you... throws a stick or stone into the rotors while you are flying ....birds and other animal life flying into them....and a slew of other hazards...at low and ground level...

and at a higher altitude ....above 30ft -40ft- 50ft- 100ft- 500ft + ....
without enough distance from the ground for a parachute to be useful....I would pass on this....I've personally found it better to fall from a much lesser height at fast speeds than a greater...

Isn't anyone keeping track? Eight days to go.

@endsormeans Are you able to justify your username?

What about only flying over the road like a car With normal traffic rules. Not high in the air?

Hahaha

There is no justification in my username.
"endsormeans"

From the commonly used statement ...
"Do the ends justify the means? Do the means justify the ends?"
Really the two are the same "thing" in essence
...separating them is almost impossible

Justification is the 1st step on the very easy road to hell and perdition...
The moment when it becomes necessary to explain and defend your reasons or "justify" your actions, stance, or behaviour to either yourself or others...then you are lying to yourself and/ or to others and trying to make yourself and them believe the lie.
For a common example...
A parent prepares to discipline and spank their child.
To justify or attempt to feel justified in the inflicting of punishment...
The parent quotes the age old..."This is going to hurt me alot more than you..."
Justification .
And the child even can see it for the lie it is...
Genocide...
Personal desire...greed...
Wars...

One of My personal philosophies in a nutshell.
I believe if you intend on doing right or wrong ...just do it...don't try and hand my a steaming bowl of poo and try to convince me and tell me it's really yummy chocolate pudding...

Evil or Good people...evil or good intent....just do it.
Don't waste the breath...the time...especially mine.
Not interested.
Don't try justifying anything to me. Then I know you are honest.
...good perhaps...
wicked ...perhaps..
doesn't matter...
I like you...
at least you aren't treating me like an imbecile.

One of the very few things that makes me itch to start a serious beating.

Explaining the reason why my user name is what it is...
is one thing...

But as per your question and my user name...
for me there is no justification.
Just yes or no...
good or bad...
right or wrong...
Ends or Means

much much safer...
the driver isn't trying to be aware of obstacles in a literal "sphere of influential possibilty" like when you are in the air...with literally the possibility of a threat coming from above, below as well as the sides, front and back...too much to pay attention too...especially with OTHER vehicles in the air...Look at modern air traffic control...vehicles are kept FAR away from each other.
take for example the movie 5th element....hover cars everywhere...there is no way a person would be allowed with multiple layers of traffic...to be allowed to manually fly through such traffic.

ever been in a hovercraft...large or small? even hugging the ground....maneuverability is like a pig wallowing in mud...it's about responsiveness ...it's about the "resistance" of ground compared to air.

Hover science is way-cool...and fun if there are no obstacles near...you have plenty of room to turn or stop...and that rogue or even serious wind doesn't become problematic or dangerous...
But for the time being ....
Better chance of dodging crap on this...saw this in T.O.

Blew my mind when I saw the guy do a demo a few years back...soooo responsive.
Dave my good sir I would prefer outrunning the terminator machines on this compared to hover-anything...My chances of surviving are higher

Yes. Seen video when they driving that mean machine. But to drive that fast you need to be a T-2 atleast since doomsday will come eventually in form of a crash boom bang. its in...evitable.

I had to ask...

Well on a lighter note
