The Volonaut Airbike flying motorbike is a breakthrough in personal air mobility and replicates the Star Wars Return of the Jedi Speeder Bike.
Volonaut has not publicly released pricing or a launch date for the Airbike as of July 2025. They are located in Poland.
UPDATE : An article covering comparing the latest flying cars and giant drone air taxis.
Industry commentary and related eVTOL products suggest a potential price in the range of $90,000–$150,000. There is a similar product Jetson ONE ($92,000–$128,000) or higher. The Jetson ONE and Volonaut Airbike are recreational vehicles and are not allowed to fly in populated areas or controlled airspaces in the US due to the ultralight classification.

Competing Jetson One Flying Car
The Jetson ONE is primarily a recreational vehicle, not intended for urban commuting, and is restricted from flying in populated areas or controlled airspace in the US due to its ultralight classification
Jetson ONE is a single-seat, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) personal aircraft developed by Jetson, a Swedish company.
Weight: 86 kg (190 lbs) without batteries, 115 kg (253 lbs) including batteries.
Dimensions: Length 2,845 mm, Width 2,400 mm, Height 1,030 mm.
Power: 88 kW peak power (102 horsepower) from eight high-power electric brushless motors, each driving a propeller.
Top Speed: 63–64 mph (101–102 km/h), software-limited.
Flight Time: Up to 20 minutes, depending on pilot weight (max 95 kg/210 lbs) and conditions.
Altitude: Up to 1,500 ft (457 m).
Battery: High-discharge lithium-ion batteries, swappable, with a recharge time of ~1 hour at 230/240V or ~2 hours at 110V.
Controls: Four-axis joystick (altitude with left hand, direction with right), with hands-free hover and auto-land functions.
Safety Features:Redundant propulsion system (can fly with one motor down).
Rapid-deployment ballistic parachute.
LIDAR sensors for terrain tracking and obstacle avoidance.
Race-car-inspired aluminum and carbon fiber safety cell with crumble zones.
They are planning to build about 360 over the next two years and have sold all of those units. New orders for Jetson One starting in 2027.

I used to paraglide, but that looks dangerous.
Like one software bug away from death.
