Flying bikes are coming soon, to rid you of your traffic woes

The guys at Thrustcycle believe that flying bikes aren’t particularly far away. In fact, they’re all set to build their own, which comprises two propellers for vertical lift-off, and two gyroscopes for stability. They’ve even built a proof-of-concept of their gyroscopes in action in one of their bike prototypes. The counter-rotating gyroscopes are powerful enough to keep the bike stable even when struck powerfully with a kick to the side, so when added to the GyroDrone concept, it should enable the vehicle to remain perfectly stable mid-flight!

The two propellers on the sides are powerful to initiate lift-off, while a thruster at the back propels you forwards… right into the future of automobiles. From two-wheeled vehicles to two-propellered vehicles!

The Self-Balancing Bike

One of the big reasons people never experience the thrill of riding a motorcycle is the common fear of balancing. That centrifugal force just isn’t enough to qualm the nerves of would-be riders! That’s where designs like the GyroCycle come in.

This two-wheeled, self-balancing motorcycle can stay upright all by itself thanks to an internal gyroscopic balancing system. It makes it near impossible for users to fall over so they can concentrate on and enjoy the ride. You can even kick it or crash it and it will stay upright thanks to the internal gyroscopes!
