A Real Hoverbike!

How many Star Wars fans have ever wanted to ride a hoverbike in real life? Remember these bikes from the movies:



















Well now you can! Check out this functional hoverbike (prototype) made by Chris Malloy of Australia. Expect this thing to be able to travel at upwards of 170 mph, and you can take it to 10,000 feet (or even higher). The machine is quite light, weighing only 110 kg when dry, thanks to a body made of carbon fiber and kevlar-wrapped foam. For more info and pictures visit HERE!
