The hover bike basically is a hovercraft redesigned in the form of a bike. I however love the concept and can imagine myself riding it on city streets. Take a look -



How about developing one as a your engineering project?

    WoW. That looks unique! Hard core bikers will miss wheelies and stoppies though 😁

    Hovering is actually making a cushion of air underneath the vehicle and then it slides over this cushion of air. Its the same principle in this bike. It cant fly high like a helicopter, but will slide over the air cushion.

    Hovering can be done only in heights where the density of air is sufficient. This implies the higher we go the lesser the density and so the more the power consumed to maintain the height of the hover craft. This is a great hindrance in hover craft's height issue. We can not drive it above a certain height from ground level
