It might move through the trees five times slower than the real thing, but here in 2025 this is the closest we are to having a speeder bike. Built by Polish inventor Tomasz Patan, the Volonaut Airbike can fly for 10 minutes without propellers, refuels in under 60 seconds and is available to pre-order this coming Friday for an as-yet-undisclosed figure.

The real life ‘speeder bike’ was first unveiled on 30 April in footage showing it taking off and landing in a wooded area. The flying bike, from Poland-based startup Volonaut, uses redundant jet turbines to beam a solo passenger through the sky at up to 63mph (102kmph). Riders can fly through tight areas with ease due to its lack of spinning propellers, according to Volonaut.

Thanks to carbon fiber materials and 3D printing, the Airbike is seven times lighter than a typical motorcycle, Volonaut added. The video shows a test pilot heavily cladded in protective gear riding a bike that has so far only existed in sci-fi movies.
