If you’re looking for something special, unique, practical and crazy, you might consider this Helicycle. It’s flying motorcycle and gyrocopter in one. Hammacher Schlemmer is offering this street-legal vehicle that can also take to the skies for just $395,000. The Helicycle is two-seat vehicle that converts from a three-wheeled motorcycle to a gyrocopter in 10 minutes. A 230-hp, four-cylinder engine powers the craft to a maximum 112 mph in the air or on the road.
When driven on a road, it accelerates from 0-60 mph in under eight seconds and run for 750 miles on a full tank. Designed to cruise at low altitudes (below 4,000′), at a range of up to 220 miles, it only requires a 540′ runway for takeoffs (just 100′ for landings). Construction is carbon fiber, titanium, and aluminum, with an empty weight of 1,499 pounds.
Not to forget Helicycle requires a sports pilot certificate to fly.
