Fly Bikes: No Longer Sci-Fi—British Inventors Make Them a Reality

You can actually buy a flying bicycle. It sounds like science fiction, but British inventors John Foden and Yannick Read have created one: the XploreAir Paravelo. Combining a foldable bicycle with a lightweight trailer housing a biofuel-powered fan engine, it can take flight with a long enough "runway," reaching speeds of 25 mph and heights up to 4,000 feet.

 

Though the inventors haven’t secured funding for mass production, they offer custom-made versions to meet client needs. This innovative design blends cycling and aviation, turning a seemingly impossible concept into a functional machine, showcasing the boundary-pushing spirit of independent inventors.

 

The Paravelo’s creation highlights how everyday transportation ideas can evolve into airborne innovations, even if mass adoption remains a future goal. For now, it stands as a testament to creativity, proving that flying bikes are no longer just the stuff of fantasy.
