they've taken something that flies low altitude and removed all the expensive crap... WHY NOT SELL IT TO PEOPLE?!
it's like they hate money or something...
Can health and safety actually do anything if it's just meant for private property? Selling it doesn't imply making it "street legal".Somethingfake said:Because health and safety will shit on it.

It's saved my arse a few times with the way some dicks drive, so to give someone something that goes a good speed up to 15 feet is just asking for trouble.

thing probably sounds like a harrier jet however, when people sized.
It would be somewhat detrimental to sales when it's not allowed to be driven anywhere outside private property.ElPatron said:ERTW. SOMEONE PUT GUNS AND MISSILES ON IT! I demand hoverbike races and death-matches to become an Olympic sport!

Let's all ignore the differences between prototypes and final versions, the initial costs of mass production and the absolute uncertainty of the profits.

Karts are not street legal. Just saying.Kargathia said:It would be somewhat detrimental to sales when it's not allowed to be driven anywhere outside private property.
The most logical application of this is not sports, but the access of road-less areas. Deserts, swamps, and mountains come to mind.ElPatron said:Karts are not street legal.

Something doesn't need to be street legal when the most logical uses of that hoverbike are sports and derping around in big properties.
And to be detrimental to sales, they would have to assume people want to drive this in roads and build enough units accordingly. Somehow I don't think they would ever produce more than they could think it would sell.

Don't forgot auto-lace shoes, and it is rumored they would actually do that for the 2015 edition of the replica, when they released a version without auto-lace last year.Veldie said:The real problam is ITS ALMOST 2015! Where are the Hoverboards? we better have them in 2015 or I will go mad
OT: Sell a manned version we all want it
Why so serious? It may sound like I'm trolling but that is the best way to say I was just joking around, maybe I should have put a lol or aElPatron said:ERTW. SOMEONE PUT GUNS AND MISSILES ON IT! I demand hoverbike races and death-matches to become an Olympic sport!
