I remember when Veeky Forums called me retarded for saying hoverbikes will be a thing in the future. A few years later...

>drones and helicopters are the same thing

drones are by definition pilot-less

I suppose a helicopter should technically have overhead rotors though. Still, there's nothing bike-like about this rotor based vehicle

It literally looks like some kawasaki dirtbike. You can see it right there, it's a flying bike. Why do you deny what you see?

how is it bike if it's a quad
checkmate

Do you call jet-skis "floatbikes"?

That's not a hoverbike, that's just a waste of oil money.

Yes, and I call bicycles motorless-motorcycles.

>what is a quadbike?
You could.

>sci /btfo/
>"I-it's not a hoverbike!"

>OP BTFO
>>s-s-sci /b-b-btfo/
>>"I-it's not a hoverbike!"

I'm gonna make millions selling hoverbikes.

Great, until then shut the fuck up, loser.

You believe a guy is gonna build a city on mars but you won't believe in hoverbikes?

that model is for the police force

>You believe
Wow you sure are desperate, retard.

Actually, that particular model is for morons who don't mind being minced into fine paste by whirling blades.

>"m-mincemeat!!"
What will your argument be when I use ducted fans?

Keywords: that particular model

Who cares about it? They're the competitor, I'm glad you think their version is defective. I defend the concept of the hoverbike though.

The idea of hoverbikes was retarded then.
The only thing that's changed is that the /reality/ of hoverbikes is retarded.

Look i don't deny it's a niche interest but why are you acting like it's solar freakin roadways?

>dubai
Fucking street shitting pajeets. The world capital of gullible retardation and pseudo-logic.

>dubai
>pajeet

It's Exactly solar freakin roadways. They're both hopelessly inefficient. They're both hopelessly terrible at doing their jobs when compared to the many, already existing viable alternatives. They're both hopelessly expensive. They're both hopelessly tempting for a country to try to make people believe they're advanced and shit by saying how cool it is that they have this "technology" when nobody else does (neglecting to mention that there's a whole litany of reasons why nobody else uses them).
Look. I'll admit that hoverbikes (even ones as shitty as these) are hella cool, and they'd be great for tourism in managed, safe ways. However. There's no way these specific designs of hoverbikes which you're referencing are going to be of any use outside of minor recreational ones.
[spoilers]But I'd still love to have a go on one.[/spoilers]

you can be a faggot all you want
I'm still keeping my jetbike though

>They're both hopelessly inefficient. They're both hopelessly terrible at doing their jobs when compared to the many, already existing viable alternatives. They're both hopelessly expensive
So were rockets, so were planes, so were cars. Things can be improved you know.
>Look. I'll admit that hoverbikes (even ones as shitty as these) are hella cool,
Thank you
>However. There's no way these specific designs of hoverbikes which you're referencing are going to be of any use outside of minor recreational ones.
While I disagree because I said they can be improved Ultimately i don't care I just want to make some $ and if that means giving 5 minute rides on private land and nothing more then so be it.
>But I'd still love to have a go on one.
Then freakin support me!

They could get so much more flight time without the cool-ass solid gold bird on the front.

Shouldn't there be guards around the propellers?? Why not ffs

That is not the Custodian way, my friend
The Talons of the Emperor must be the shiniest at all times
They wouldn't be the Golden rape train otherwise

Probably to reduce weight but also because ducting reduces maneuvorability.

Okay but you're gonna need extra fuel.

>doesnt want giant golden birds and lightning bolts all over his hoverbike
HERESY

fuck that they run on wizard technology that doesnt need fuel

Hmu with this wizard technology because aerodynamics is a pain
>tfw 10 minute flight times
>down to 6 minutes if you wear a hat

it's just grav repellor tech
nothing special about it

You should see the Caladius Grav-Tank though, that's some fun shit

That's not a hover bike. It goes far above the area for hovering. Above the ground effect that is. It is just a shittier helicopter.

do they come in gold?

Do you know what "hover" means?
Carbon fibre only sorry.

You still are retarded.

Lmao the design is so retarded, you are better using a normal bike 100% of the times

For these threads it means rising above the ground without exiting ground effect. If it goes beyond that, it is a helicopter, jet, etc. It loses its moniker of "hover" bike/board/etc.

>hoverbike
>flies all around everywhere

So a copter, not a hoverbike.

it just has to be the paint, not the material itself
some red too to make it sleek and regal would be a bonus

>OP BTFO in one webm

>paint

No no no no! Are you retarded? You'll cut the flight time down to like 30 seconds if you paint it. Wait, did you use the bathroom before flying? Cut your hair too.

Red would make it run too hot.

i want one

...

Flyboard is cool but I prefer electric because it's safer and easier to automate. Microturbines are also expensive af
By your logic helicopters can't hover. You kno what I don't care I have my supporters like this guy

The base has to be standard carbon frame quad or hex but sure I can put any design atop it within the weight limit. I'll offer custom designs.

I'd much rather have one of these. My neighbor has one. He flies it all the time.

How much?

That copter is retarded, too heavy frame, too many motors and the disc loading is ridiculous. It does have an advantage over a standard copter of being able to be automated though
Dangerous, not computer controlled
See these things are viable it's just a good powerplant and control is the issue
Thanks for your support

$34k + a helicopter pilot license

>That copter is retarded
>literally Retardocopter RC200.webm

kek

>See these things are viable

Moron. There's a reason they dropped it and went with a regular helicopter.

$44,700 - $65,200

It was the 50s they didn't have the tech to control it well, the materials to make it light enough or engines/batteries with a good enough power ratio.

I can't be bothered to argue with you why helicopters have shortcomings so whatever if you aren't interested then good for you enjoy crashing your copter because you took your mind off the joystick for a second, enjoy the collective control mecahnism repair bill and enjoy being forever banned from urban areas.

this design would be good
I must become one with the golden bananas

How bout you go over to and post where it belongs, Tony Stark. Because there's no way we are ever going to be able to use tiny prop helicopters like these and have them with good lift and flight times. They are so horrible inefficient that it is sad and laughable.

>REEEEEEE STOP HAVING FUN
>NOBODY SHOULD THINK ABOUT NEW THINGS ON MY BOARD EVER
>REEEE GO BACK TO PLACE I DON'T LIKE

You know I have been needing design inspiration because I care about aesthetics too. I'll look into Warhammer hoverbike designs thanks. Obviously I can't do a straight copy because lawyers but I'll see what I can do. With this design I'd have to shorten it because drones are symmetrical. I am not sure how well an elongated one would work.

>don't tear down my lies

Sure thing, kid.

yeah thats why they wear the read cloaks so they can still go fast af

>yfw your motorcycles the size of a minivan

>it looks like something so it is something

>what is a quadbike?
a misnomer

youtube.com/watch?v=soxxPyaAT1k

then whats a trike lmao

Why didn't it catch on?

youtube.com/watch?v=Yy7_B1KOpLw

bicycle
bi=two
cycle=wheel

tricycle
tri=3
cycle=wheel

quad-cycle
quad=4
cycle=wheel

quad-bike=quad-bicycle
quad=4
bi=2
cycle=wheel
quad-bikes have 8 wheels not 4

so a scooter is a scootercycle lmao

Scooters are motorcycles, unless they are a podicycle like this one.

>they just are motorcycles
lol

autism

Scooter isn't a recognized prefix and is related to the motion of your legs not the number of wheels.
Scooters are a type of bicycle. The original bicycle the velocipede was powered by putting foot to ground. In some ways a scooter is more true to the name than our current gear driven version.

>A scooter (also referred to as a motor scooter to avoid confusion with kick scooter) is a type of motorcycle with step-through frame and a platform for the rider's feet.

That's what they are.

Okay Veeky Forums what in your opinion counts as a "hoverbike"? Seeing as this clearly hovering bike somehow isn't a hoverbike.

its literally referred to in drivers licenses info and what type of vehicles you can drive lmao
kinda weird official goverment documents use words not officially recognized lmao

Have you been on a US road? They let literal retards drive on our streets and you think they care about what is on the paperwork?

the fact that they let retards drive on the road is the VERY reason the paperwork is absolutely scrutinized and bulletproof, by virtue of having millions of retards test it. either way, the argument presented just went from. so....deal wit it. its recognized, and its not scootercycle

lmao

Why the homophobia?

>either way, the argument presented just went from. so....deal wit it. its recognized, and its not scootercycle
I have suspicions that you are a failed experiment in AI.

nah, i just went to delete half of a sentence and forgot since im on call. missing section was
>went from "its not recognized, to it is, but hurr."
anyways, thats the clarification for that attempted deflection. back to the topic: scootercycles, lmao

The DMV never uses Scootercycle in any context you are a retard.

gee, if only that was sorta the point of it being brought up

>If only I could string together a coherent sentence you could communicate with me better.
You're right keep doing what you do.

okay fine lmao, since clicking the quotes above each post is too hard. the claim was a quadbike was a misnomer, to which scooter was brought up

lmao, want a link to simple english wikipedia as well

A scooter is a bicycle.

Actually it's a motorless motorcycle.

What?

While you were all laughing at me I just spent the past 4 hours doing hoverbike math. So far everything is good.
