...and decided I needed one. Can you imagine how awesome that thing will handle sand?!!!
So with the help of a fellow WD we have decided to tackle this and produce South Africa's first locally made Hoverbike.
It is a work in progress but here is the foundation.
The thought of using a KTM engine for something that flies did cross my mind. Oil falling from the sky is apparently frowned upon not to mention the inevitable engine failure that these bikes are known for mid-air was a worry but I think is a small price to pay, this will look awesome soaring through the sky.
So if anybody else is interested in turning their boring two-wheeled bike into something more interesting you know where to come to.
