They said flying bikes were impossible, and here we are now.
Fez– If you’ve ever wished your motorcycle could lift off the ground and fly over traffic like something out of a video game or a Marvel movie, well, buckle up.
The future of personal air mobility is officially here, and it looks a lot like Volonaut’s Airbike.
Unveiled on April 30, 2025, by the Polish startup Volonaut, the Airbike is being dubbed the world’s first real flying motorbike.
And no, this isn’t a prototype collecting dust in a lab, it’s the real deal, complete with a slick launch video that looks like it was directed by Hollywood.
Here’s what makes it wild: the Airbike runs on jet propulsion (yes, jet propulsion) and can carry one passenger at speeds of up to 200 km/h.
It comes with an onboard flight computer and smart balancing system to keep you steady mid-air, because wobbling at that altitude? Not ideal.
Design-wise, it’s giving “Iron Man meets minimalist futurism.” Thanks to its lightweight carbon fiber body, 3D-printed parts, and lack of exposed rotors, it’s seven times lighter than your standard motorcycle.
It’s also small enough to maneuver through tight spaces, giving it a serious edge in urban environments.
Oh, and did we mention the 360-degree panoramic view? You’re not just riding, you’re basically soaring in your own private IMAX dome.
The Airbike has been in stealth mode for a while, secretly developed by Volonaut founder and inventor Tomasz Patan.
He broke the news on X (formerly Twitter) with a cryptic tease: “I’m thrilled to share a glimpse of what I’ve been working on behind the scenes. Stay tuned for the official launch video.”
When the big reveal finally dropped, Patan described the Airbike as a longtime obsession sparked by sci-fi classics.
“It started as a wild idea, inspired by the futuristic vehicles I grew up watching on screen. Over time, it became a mission, I had to make it real,” he said.
For now, Volonaut is playing it coy with the fine print. We still don’t know what powers the Airbike, how safe it really is, or when (and if) it will hit the market.
No pricing details have been announced either, but given the tech involved, we’re not expecting budget-friendly.
Still, one thing is clear: flying bikes are no longer just movie magic. They’re here, they’re real, and they’re about to change the way we think about getting from A to B.
So… who’s ready to take off?
