Mad scientist and all-around fun guy Colin Furze has created another crazy project. This powered micro scooter is a bit less dangerous than some of his previous builds, because he actually wanted to let his 5-year-old son ride on it. Even though he calls it “Jet Powered”, it actually doesn’t have a pulse jet or turbine engine on it.
That would be crazy even for Colin. Hell, the kid would be shot into the air as soon as he stepped on this thing. Furze chose to go with an electric EDF (electric ducted fan). He threw in a few R/C essentials like an ESC, receiver and battery pack, some brackets and the Jet Powered Micro Scooter was born. Check out the build in the video below, or skip ahead to 6:10 to see it in action.
Since it’s remote-controlled, Colin was able to let his son take a ride while he controlled everything. With his son riding this scooter, it’s obviously not as insane as some of his past creations. You have to keep your kid safe after all. This scooter looks like a lot of fun. All I know is, it must be super cool to have a dad like Colin Furze.
I bet this kid grows up to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

The electric plane is a steeper challenge than the electric car, but we can still dream! The AJet-100 is a look at what we might expect from future e-jets. Like its grounded counterparts, it will have major improvements in noise, operating costs, as well as a reduction in burning fossil fuels and emissions. Aside from its more muscular structure, it’s not immediately distinguishable from other jets of comparable size. However, its autonomous tech and entertainment features like a “glass bottom” screen floor make it entirely different.
Features:
(2) RR high output electric engines powered by a variation of advanced solar and lithium battery technologies
Projection technologies used to project real-time outside video or preloaded video into fuselage floor
Advanced aerodynamic design for improved battery efficiency
AI autopilot flight technology with capabilities for total GPS guided flight from takeoff to landing
Various configurations depending on client needs and intended service use
Hybrid engine options to switch between traditional fuel and electric power
