Fantasy Comes Alive With The JetBike
We don’t live in Utopia, traffic snarls and packed commutes are the stark realities that we live with. A lucky few get to satisfy their urge of zipping down empty streets, past peak hours. Those not so lucky, vent their fury by tinkering with their vehicles and displaying their prowess in arenas. Others like Norio slip into the fantasy world and conspire to ride/glide on a Jet Powered Bike!
“Envisioning a jet powered flying bike powered by an alternative method of propulsion!”
Does that sound outrageous to you? Maybe for the moment it is, but I won’t grudge Norio for fantasizing such a beauty. After all he rides a motorcycle to work almost everyday. Such fantasies must be making the ride smoother for him!
Designer: Norio Fujikawa

Beautiful design, but how does it land?
So says
I would guess it glides and just stops, just like sci-fi films and float at the spot?
Pzon says
Voice activation?v

why does that horizontal stick thing at the bottom only have the jet engine looking oval on one side only. Also where do you put your feet? design looks nice, but i’m of the believe that this design would be better if it was to be influenced by the fact that things that fly fast usually have small/stubby wings, as opposed to long wings.
Pzon says
I would assume you have to wrap your legs round them or keep them dangling in mid-air. Unless those two holes on either side have extendible foot rests?
McMa says
Beautiful design indeed, but why would the thing need a muffler if it already has a jet engine?
cerberus says
the muffler purely for asthetics ! jet bikes ned all the help they can to look “Kewl”

Nice render, I would like to hear the story on it. All designs be they conceptual, blue sky or client oriented all have stories.
Eric says
The only way this would get off the ground is with anti-gravity. Then the things sticking off the bike would be completely useless, and they already are now. Sure a jet engine can make you go, but wings make you fly. This has nothing on it to provide LIFT, only propulsion. Therefore, anti gravity. I can’t wait to ride this though, it looks like a flipping blast!
confucius says
Nice work! I agree with zippy its gotta have a story!
Madhav says
It’s a cool concept. This kind of concept, even if there are few issues to be solved, is worth the appreciation. Hats off!!!
macyo94 says
looks awsome. but would probably suck. your not gonna get off the ground without the antigravity. though i accept that this will eventually become part of our future this is not yet ready.
Tom says
Were can I buy one?
Great Design
Sam, Wisconsin says
Wrong.
This design does not belong here. This website is not for Sci-Fi, it is for practical realistic projects, that have at least 1% chance of creating a prototype.
wyatt says
dude it is possible
So says
any idea what software this would of been drawn in?
Henrique Staino says
C’mon people. Really, this design is absolutely ridiculous!
dave says
RE: any idea what software this would of been drawn in?
It could any of the major 3D packages such as Studio MAX, Maya, Rhino, Modo, etc etc. That’s kind of like asking a painter, “Your still life is gorgeous and emotionally moving. What brand of paint did you use?”
Hartigan says
Epic Fail !!!
