City streets in major cities around the world are overwhelmed by traffic and making it clear that the only way to go is upward for transportation, which is exactly what the conceptual Thrustcycle 'GyroDrone' would enable.
Designed by Clyde Igarashi, the motorcycle features a futuristic motorbike body that has been paired with downward-facing propellers on either side to provide upward momentum for gracefully flying over traffic. The rear thruster provides propulsion forward to get the rider from point A to B in a far quicker manner than is possible on the ground.
The conceptual Thrustcycle 'GyroDrone' speaks to the rise of single-person vehicles as well as the rise of airborne transportation solutions as urban areas continue to become congested.
