We've seen lots of designs for vertical take-off and landing vehicles over the years, but none are quite as striking as the wings on HopFlyt's Cyclone. The curved wings have their root in a design first introduced in the 1920s but never employed in a commercial vehicle.

Calling the Cyrusher Kommoda 3.0 a "bicycle" almost feels a little dishonest. Sure, it has pedals and technically fits into the ebike category, but when you twist the throttle, the whole experience leans a little more towards an electric moped that just happens to have pedals. The fat Arisun 20x4-inch tires, the 6061 aluminum step-through frame, and the 750-watt rear hub motor with nearly 63 lb-ft (85 Nm) of torque ... yeah, that all supports what I'm trying to illustrate here.
