Flying Bikes Are Now On Sale In The UK

We are pleased to announce the future has officially arrived.

Yes, a tech company has created the first ever commercially available flying bike and we're already thinking about how quick and easy our next trip to Starbucks will be.

The Jetson One is a fully electric bike and doesn't require a pilot's licence. Reaching speeds of up to 63mph, it has proved so popular that orders are already being taken for 2023.

Unsurprisingly, it doesn't come cheap at an eye-watering £68,000.

Jetson insist this is just the beginning and we'll all be zooming around in four-seater flying cars by 2030.

Peter Ternström of Jetson said: "The first time I flew it, it felt amazing - it's completely vibration free so it's nothing like a helicopter or aeroplane.

"It's totally new and it's euphoric - we are opening another dimension for people.

"But we have a vision way beyond the Jetson One - we want to make a two-seater flying car in four years.

"By the end of the decade, we want a four-seater flying car on the market - one that can replace a normal family car, and everyone will want it.

"We want to make cities a better place to live and mass transport is going to need to change to do that - everything is going up in the air!

"People think it's crazy but we believe everyone can be a pilot by the end of the decade - evolution happens fast."

Peter and co-founder Tomasz Patan established their company Jetson in 2017 after thinking of the concept several years earlier. They began developing the prototype for their flying bike soon after.

The following year they began to implement safety features to ensure it's totally safe to fly, including sensors, backup motors and speed restrictors.

It doesn't need a runway to take off or land and has been built to ensure you always get the perfect landing.

The Jetson One weighs 86kg and can fly for 20 minutes at a time, with a battery charging time of up to two hours. It's controlled with a joystick and throttle lever 

The first release of Jetson One models sold instantly after its official launch in October 2021, and the company is now accepting orders for delivery next year.

Peter says he and Tomasz hope to see 15 per cent of all wheeled transport to be moved to the air by 2035 and 50 per cent by 2050.

Peter explained: "Going forward, we want to make big cities better places to live.

"For our children, the cities can be greener - there won't be space needed for loads of parking and roads because it's all going up in the air!

"We are not going to be the only ones who solve this, but we can work with other companies we can all do it together."

The next step for Peter and Tomasz's is to create a two-seater flying car, with room for luggage, by 2026 and a four-seater car by the start of the next decade.

Peter said: "Our goal is to make everyone a pilot within a decade."
