Whenever the flying feature is enabled, the rotor wheels arrange themselves horizontally. The turbines are also mounted to each tire and can revolve at a speed of 96,000 rpm. However, this does not mean you can take the motorbike high into the sky as it is only a hoverbike.įor now, this LMV 496 will only climb as high as 3.3 feet above the ground until new inventions roll out. The 4 JetCat engines that power each wheel hub are authentic and built by the original makers of NASA/Skunkworks' test plane. Research and development around this vehicle have enabled new internal processes that will benefit other projects. Furthermore, Kevlar's body color adds a distinct aesthetic to the LMV 496. While carbon fiber provides stiffness and strength, the aramid Kevlar offers impact and is fracture resistant. This hybrid material consists of a combination of both materials into one. Ludovic Lazareth and his fellow engineers used the carbon-Kevlar composite for the body of the motorbike. The LMV 496 also features joysticks on each side of the handlebar designed to regulate your ride in the air. Hover 1 is on a mission for sustainability, so enjoy an exciting ride that’s truly green.
Every Hover 1 rideable is powered by the industrys best Lithium-ion battery, so enjoy going from A to B emission-free. While riding above the ground, you can check out a dashboard that shows vital flying data such as the bike's velocity, location, and elevation. Hover-1 is here to change the future of transportation and the health of our planet. The new shape of the flying motorcycle is complete in sixty seconds as the noise of four jet engines erupts from the four wheels. Ready to get your motorbike in the air? Push a button, and watch the wheels move dynamically from an erect to a horizontal position. As such, the electric motor will be resting its energy once the superbike is flying in the air. The jet turbines are powered by kerosene. It uses four horizontal jet engines, one for each wing.Įach of these engines can generate 1,300 hp of power, allowing the bike to hover for 10 minutes. On the highway, the Lazareth LMV 496 motorbike is propelled by an electrical motor with a range of 100km or 60 miles approximately. According to Ludovic, the motorbike designer, the LMV 496 is legal to use on the road. It would be the first time that Japan will mass-produce and sell hoverbikes in an agreement with Yamanashi Prefecture startup and the so-called ‘flying bike’ available mainly for people who won the private property to able to fly it. Hoverbikes are becoming popular in the world today, but only the LMV 496 doubles as a motorcycle. It is priced at 77.7 million yen (US680,000) or US 680,000.
