Aerofex Hover bike Prototype

Aerofex a Californian firm develops a new hover bike which have two ducted rotors rather than wheels and the model is actually a fix for the stability and rollover issues for the original design abandoned in early 1960s.The fix is actually a mechanical system controlled by two control bars at knee-level so that the rider's leaning motion controls the direction of the bike.
Preliminary tests were done at California's Mojave Desert to a height of 15 feet and speeds of about 30 mph
