Jetpacks not enough for you? Are you looking for something more adventurous? Then check out the Speeder, a new jet-powered motorcycle from Jetpack Aviation (JPA).
Dubbed the “Speeder,” the $380,000 vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft will reach at least 150 miles per hour, have a 45-mile range and be able to travel as high as 15,000 feet when it debuts next year, according to David Mayman, the CEO of JetPack Aviation, a company that creates and sells personal jet packs.
The hyper-futuristic angular design of The Speeder pulls inspiration from Star Wars and Batman’s garage. It’s a compact, personal hoverbike that feels like a stolen, mil-spec Black Ops project made available to well-heeled thrillseekers.
It’s currently taking pre-orders for commercial versions of the flying motorcycles for eventual delivery in Los Angeles. To reserve a motorcycle, potential customers need to put down a $10,000 deposit and eventually drop $380,000 on the full build. According to the company’s website, only 20 of the Speeders will be created for commercial use; the rest of the company’s future production will be dedicated to military and other government applications.
