This could be the latest Segway add-on...
 
Normally, I don't think too much about bikes, but this caught my eye...

I'm just not sure I'd want to see a Seg like this, though....:D:D:D

Check it out ;)

So why is it built on a bike frame? How about a lazy boy recliner? Just sayen!

Gona pedal with 100 lbs of props, engine, and metal guards? LOL...

Ill take mine in black leather with massage option.

Last time I weighed as much as that rider, I was about a month before my 1st birthday. Meaning, my mother was 8 months pregnant with me.

It is fine and dandy to see that item fly, but a 150 or 200 pound rider will make a very different issue than a set of clothes stretched over a wire frame.

Still, each and every one of these items gets us a bit closer to these things actually being real.

Its laterally stiff yet vertically compliant?
(Sorry, inside bike joke.)

It might work, but three fans or even 4 and outboard a bit for stabilization. Something I always wanted to build is a hover car, somewhat different than a flying bike. And a house built out of foam and a seat for my long gone Segway. I did build a spaceship, well rebuilt one. I encourage anyone to try new ideas.

I love to combine threads...

I wonder if Rolacoy's foam house could help with Tritium's sinking house syndrome.

Sorry, my mind always drifts. As you said it looked like a dummy as the rider. Of course it was a dummy, whether it was flesh and blood or a wire frame. It appears that it could pitch sideways pretty easy. I think maybe there are some black stabilizers holding the top or are they holding the "dummy" ?

This morning when I got to church someone had a heave duty 4' fan in the back of their pickup truck. I immediately thought of the fans on the bike. I am pretty sure that they were just hauling it. BUT, it could have been for thrust or maybe even for lift. It was a Texas pickup.

Perhaps it was for extra lateral travel when jumping washed out bridges, 'Smokey and the Bandit' style!
