Tokyo: Now it is no surprise to see planes and helicopters soaring in the sky. The world has progressed far beyond planes and helicopters.

Bike booking starts
ALI Technology has started the booking of the bike XTURISMO Limited Edition. This booking has started from 26 October. The company will currently make only 200 units of this flying bike. Its price is around 7.77 crore yen. If we consider this price in rupees in India, then it sits around Rs 5.10 crore. This also includes tax and insurance money.
This bike was displayed on Tuesday. On the Fuji racing track, this bike was showing juggling in the roaring sky. People were getting very shocked seeing this. It seemed like a complete stunt, but it was a reality and if you also have around five crore rupees, then you can ride this bike and roam like birds in the sky.
How does this bike work
The engine of the XTURISMO bike is electric. It has a combustion engine, which runs on petrol. The company plans to install a fully electric engine in this bike by 2025.
What is the weight of the bike?
The weight of the XTURISMO flying bike is around 300 kg. Its length is 3.7 meters and its width is 2.4 meters. Along with this, it is 1.5 meters high. Right now there is only one person sitting on this bike. Although no disclosure has been made about the maximum speed of this bike, during the demonstration, it was juggling at a speed of around 100 kmph.
Work was going on on this technology since 2017
Daisuke Katano, CEO and President of ALI Technologies, says that we started work on this technology in 2017. He said that it seems that air mobility will increase in the coming times. However, he said that for now there is no scope to use this technology everywhere. Vehicles with this technology can prove to be very effective in mountainous areas, seas, and disaster situations.
When will this bike be seen in the market?
The company says that the supply of the first unit of this bike may take time. The delivery of its first unit will start only by the middle of next year. The company currently aims to make 200 such bikes. After this, its production can be increased keeping in view the demand.
