Hoverwing
 

When you mix New Zealand+men+sheds, you get some crazy inventions. Disposable syringes, jet boats, electric fences, tranquilliser guns, bungee jumping.

And recently there have been a couple of hovercraft-based designs.

First up, the hoverbike:

Ha, damn that looks pretty sweet

I'm already imagining how those things are going to crash into each other. Yes, I'm pessimistic like that. =p

Btw, that Hoverbike reminds me of a pod-racer from Star Wars.

now that you say that, it does have a striking similarity

Star Wars did provide some of the inspiration for it.

I thought it might have been the other way around :p

I want one. I want one now.

The bike looks rly clumsy. Like it could flip at any moment. Must be uncomfortible too, sitting on the metal ENGINE! :p
