The Skyrider X1 is essentially a hybrid between an electric moped and a quadcopter drone.
It features two wheels for driving on roads and eight propellers providing stability while airborne.
Renderings showcase an aggressive, angular body design with sleek lines, and a sporty ride stance when grounded.
It appears to have a cabin capacity of a single person, much like a bike.
The Skyrider X1’s biggest selling point is the promise of autonomous operation.
It can take off and land vertically on its own too.
The idea of a self-flying personal vehicle zipping around populated areas seems exponentially more complex.
Thankfully, the X1 also offers manual control with joystick functionality.
It evenclaimedthat the vehicle was “the star exhibit of the show” on the floor in Las Vegas.
The startup is certainly talking a big game for an unproven company.
Its only previous product is a traditional electric moped called the K1.
But they assert that “robust innovation capabilities” are allowing them to spearhead new solutions for the masses.
