American students have created a flying bike

Students from schools in the state of Colorado (USA) has gathered a unique tricycle that will give its driver the feeling of flying. However "flight" this occurs at an altitude of several tens of centimeters, and the distance to earth does not change. Because of the extraordinary design, the driver of such extraordinary means of transportation literally hangs in space. To fall he will not only chains, straps and handles, for which it is held. The feeling of driving this bike can be compared to the sensations during flight on a hang glider, but not so high.





The motion is driven by an electric motor, which, by the way, its creators have built into the design not so long ago — before the driver of their own pedaled why everyone engaging "flight" was not felt.





Batteries StrеetFlyer nourish 750-watt motor that is able to disperse aeropad to the speed of 13 km/h, but the feelings of the people who this bike is tested, it appears that more. Dr. Karsten, the curator of the project, says that after some changes, the speed will increase twice.
