Hoverbike Prototype by Chris Malloy.
Malloy estimates that the ‘hoverbike’, whose 4-stroke engine drives 80kW of power to the propellers, generating 7500rpm,is capable of reaching heights of over 10,000 feet and of traveling 150 knots (173mph, or 278km/h). The vehicle’s 30L primary tankcan be supplemented with additional fuel storage but even on its own should offer a range of 92 miles (148km) when travelingat 80 knots (92mph or 148km/h).
Just remember kids, hoverbikes don’t work on water (unless you have power).

Of COURSE it looks like a Speeder Bike. Which means, of course, that I MUST HAVE ONE.
How do I get one?!
