electric solo jetbike hovers as personal air vehicle for pilots without license

"LEO Flight introduces the concept electric Solo JetBike, a hovering instead of propellers. The vehicle, which follows the personal air vehicle for pilots without a license. Described as a one-person electric aircraft, it operates at low altitude and uses electric propulsionstill-concept LEO Coupe car-like aircraft, runs on what the team calls a proprietary electric-jet propulsion system, which uses multiple electric jets. They're small and enclosed within the frame, as the company hopes this can eliminate propellers entirely."

"The concept electric Solo JetBike by LEO Flight measures 6.5 feet by 6.5 feet, compact enough to fit in the owner's garage. When they park it on their property, they can also plug in and recharge the vehicle using the port from their house, similar to how electric cars charge at home. Design-wise, the frame of the vehicle includes a roll-hoop structure, which surrounds the pilot and provides protection in case of a rollover or impact."

"The company has also designed the air vehicle to operate under FAA Part 103 regulations, covering ultralight vehicles. This classification means pilots do not need a license to operate the vehicle, and the regulations set weight limits and operational restrictions for vehicles in this category. The electric Solo JetBike by LEO Flight then has electronic systems that limit its performance parameters, with its speed limit sitting at 60 mph and the altitude limit being 15 feet above ground level"

LEO Flight's Solo JetBike is a one-person electric hovering vehicle measuring 6.5 by 6.5 feet, small enough to fit in a garage and recharge from a home power port. The frame includes a roll-hoop that surrounds the pilot for rollover and impact protection and serves as mounts for multiple enclosed electric jet units designed to reduce noise and eliminate exposed propellers. Solid-state batteries supply power to a proprietary electric-jet propulsion system. The vehicle is designed to meet FAA Part 103 ultralight rules, with electronic limits of 60 mph top speed and 15 feet maximum altitude, and flight time of about 10–15 minutes per charge.
