If you had wings, you could fly. Sometimes, even a bicycle would do – a bicycle with a glider mechanism.

Fresh-Breeze’s Flyke is a “flying bicycle” that functions both as a bicycle and a single seat PPG trike. And pedaling wouldn’t be a pain if you use the motor, which apparently offers a cap of 40mph. The Flyke is designed for the sky-bound and the adventure-seeking, and does a good job in the appeal department too. Front-wheel driven, the flying trike offers 7 different gear settings, a control arm for the steering, front and rear brakes, seat board and reclining seatback, and most interestingly, a launch assist mechanism. The Flyke weighs 21kgs and has already received a German certification for jettisoning.

When you have a dual-mode glider that auto steers itself, has a comfortable seat and does 40mph on the ground, you hardly need further recommendations. It is available at Fresh-Breeze stores and also online at Southern Skies for a quoted price of $3450.
