oh well, 2026 , no fly cars but we got flying e-bikes
DJKaito@reddit
10/10 would buy.

Wow, this is a good one! The amount of work invested in this video for the sake of a joke is astonishing. Well done! :-)
riscten@reddit
It's all AI-generated audio/video. This stuff can be done by one person, for a few dollars, in a day or two.
Rhytidocephalus@reddit
Yes, I'm aware of that. But still, it needs a good amount of work. You have come up with a pretty detailed promt, you have to generate several iterations for each clip, go through them, selecting the best ones, and you still need to do some editing to stitch them together, you have to select music, do speech synthesis... etc. :-)
riscten@reddit
Few would consider this amount of work as "astonishing".
Rhytidocephalus@reddit
Of course not, if you did it for money. But for the sake of a joke: that's a completely different story.
riscten@reddit
This is marketing, specifically brand awareness. It's absolutely done for money.
Legitimate-Dark4700@reddit
It can't be real. But I want one.

At 300 feet four turkey buzzards attack me and carried me to their nest to feed their babies. lolol
AdamSixties@reddit
For $200 extra they throw in a time machine!

Of course this is an April Fool’s joke but I must say owning a Velotric is no joke. Excellent bikes at a reasonable price. I’m a long time Velotric owner and the combined mileage on my bikes is over 15,000 miles. Outstanding company that really listens to their riders when updating models.

Damn, they reached there first and here we are just working on custom mid drive and Uphill boost.
PFDRC@reddit
Soon a crazy youtuber trying to turn this idea into reality.
squishyliquid@reddit
My township only allows class 1 and 2 e-helis. No throtte, 500 ft altitude limit.
djangelic@reddit
Basically useless. If I can't go 900ft, what's the point?
djhenry@reddit
You can go above 500ft, the bike will just stop power assisting at that point. The true limit to your altitude is how fast you can pedal.

proceeds to show a guy flying over a 200m cliff
I love it!

LexLex07@reddit

Mistral-Fien@reddit
I didn't know M.A.S.K. was already upon us. 🤣
JamieDrone@reddit
Man put a prop guard on that
jkibbe@reddit (OP)
Don't want the extra weight, sorry! Fly safely! 🚀
ShutYourDumbUglyFace@reddit
This is funny. Excellent 4/1 joke.
tantalor@reddit
Hey guy, this sub is for *ebikes* not *helicopters*
sckuzzle@reddit
It has vestigial pedals, so by definition it's an ebike. /s
jkibbe@reddit (OP)
So judgemental. Next you're gonna tell me that e-fighter jets and e-lawnmowers don't belong here. Pfft.
YendorZenitram@reddit
LOL! This would be the most awesome way to die! :)
Trumpismybabymamma@reddit
Lol this is amazing. Happy April fools.
jkibbe@reddit (OP)
Oh, it's April? Surely you don't think...?
I pre-ordered!
DavDar66@reddit
I ordered two, my wife also wanted one of these bicycles.
rudmad@reddit
Flycycles
DavDar66@reddit
Yes, flycycles, sorry but its so new for us.
arizona_dreaming@reddit
kevlar body suit sold separately!
DavDar66@reddit
I flew this prototype.
What I didn’t like was that the maximum altitude couldn’t be adjusted.
At 2,000 feet, it was quite windy.
BASIC-SRI@reddit
Keep Dreaming. Keep Riding. Keep Flying.
120b0t@reddit
im a fool...omfg...
Thanks for the laugh op!
jkibbe@reddit (OP)
Embrace the dream of flight! 😎
BIG_SCIENCE@reddit
LOL too funny
Mildew88@reddit
I was a Velotric tester of this new product. They sent me the Mango color which I really like. If you decide to purchase this option, I highly recommend getting the suspension seat post!!!
jkibbe@reddit (OP)
Definitely helps with the hard landings!
