Ah yes, electrification. The ultimate buzzword when it comes to anything and everything mobility. And clearly, electrification is more than just Teslas, EV motorcycles, e-bikes, and tooth-busting e-scooters anymore.
These days, we’ve very much crossed into a world where mobility isn’t just a matter of wheels on the ground—it’s a multi-dimensional circus, where (concept) vehicles can take to the sky and submerge themselves in the depths of the sea. We’re seeing a microcosm of oddities that hope to somehow usher in the next generation of mobility, as some are amusingly imaginative, while others hilariously impractical and borderline insane.
But hey, creativity is and always will be cool. Even if the result looks like something a sci-fi fanatic came up with after a fever dream that was the result of one too many Red Bulls.
Case in point just has to be this thing called the RICTOR Skyrider X1, which made an appearance at the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at Las Vegas. And it’s exactly what it depicts itself to be in the picture above: a flying motorcycle. Yes, you read that right. It’s what we refer to as an eVTOL—electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle—that claims to redefine “future mobility.”
