World's first flying bike making its United States debut.

The future was on full display, soaring above the ground at the Detroit Auto Show, September 15, 2022, with the world's first flying bike making its United States debut.

Japanese startup AERWINS Technologies created the XTURISMO hoverbike, a vehicle capable of flying for 40 minutes and reaching speeds of up to 62 miles per hour.

Shuhei Komatsu, founder and CEO of AERWINS Technologies, says the company started out making drones and unmanned aerial vehicles.

The hoverbike is already on sale in Japan.

 

Komatsu said plans are underway to sell a smaller version of the XTURISMO hoverbike in the U.S. in 2023.
