In this age of new aerial technology comes a flying motorcycle, on this episode we bring you the Scorpion 3 hoverbike.
Built by Hoversurf, the Scorpion 3 hoverbike is the world’s first manned drone available for pre order worldwide. Being a mix of a motorcycle and a drone, this iconic air bike doesn’t look real the first time you see it. Able to be flown manually by the rider or flown autonomously by the computer the scorpion 3 hoverbike has an intelligent onboard flight system that manages everything. The Scorpion 3 being a much smaller flying vehicle the others being developed is able to take off and land in a parking space making it more viable for use in the city, I wouldn’t want to be the guy parking next to the drone when they are parking but it can fit in a parking space nicely. It can also be summoned to your location and is completely able to fly without a human pilot.
This bike has a max speed of 43 mph or 70 km/h and no built in limitor on how high it will fly. With a flight distance of 13 miles or 21 km or around 20 minutes in the air this flying motorcycle is ideal for shorter trips with a city. The Scorpion 3 is able to take flight from only 4 blades, while looking like they are dangerously close to the driver Hoversurf has developed blade guards that can be added. It takes 1 minute to change batteries or 3 hours to charge them but they are currently developing a new type of battery that will double the flight time.
Currently starting at a price of $59,900 the Dubai Police Force purchased a scorpion 3 as a standby emergency use vehicle where quick aerial access would be required.
Aside from this bike, Hoversurf has a stripped down version used to transport cargo. Able to lift 330 lbs or 150 kg this cargo drone has a starting price of $55,500.
Do you see this flying motorcycle as a part of the future of transport within cities? Share your thoughts down below.

Just imagine taking people’s heads off with those rotors … oh wait, optional rotor covers … should they be “optional”???
I low key want one now, but 59K x_x
Science fiction is becoming true in this brave new world age. The problem is there aren’t enough batteries and energy resources to go much further than 20 minutes making a need for a new efficient power plant that can march on and on into the future requiring only low maintenance to be sustainable in a dangerous Mad Max kind of situation requiring one to be self sufficient or perish. This will add complex 3D chess dynamics to transportation and war making for many dangerous adventurous sci-fi kind of real life experiences, but only for those in power positions taking all the money, land, and resources for themselves.
I can’t imagine cities allowing them. But it would be amazing to see millions of people commute on one at the same time
That’s an awesome idea for sure!
can anyone say about it’s specs
Since FAA rules prohibit the flying of ultralights over cities what’s the point. Obviously the producer of this video has no idea what restrictions are placed on ultralights.
It’s NEVER going to happen. An awful lot of people are misguidedly pouring an awful lot of money into drones, manned or otherwise. Aside from filming work, they are totally impractical, being expensive, overweight, underpowered, with VERY limited range and non-existent safety redundancy. The CAA and FAA will never allow them to carry passengers over cities, nor ANYWHERE without a ballistic parachute. And as for thousands of ‘parcel-carrying’ drones whizzing about over our heads and landing ‘blind’ in people’s back gardens….. well, don’t make me laugh. The nearest anyone’s going to come to an inexpensive (therefore discounting helicopters) flying car is my microlight aeroplane or a paramotor – but neither are allowed into cities.
