“I feel like I'm literally 15 years old and I just got out of Star Wars and jumped on their bike. I mean, it's awesome!" You know, it was exhilarating. It's not vicious, right? It's comfortable, it's really comfortable taking off and landing. So, there's no, like, jerky-jerk. It's literally very, very smooth and I can't wait for the future. I'm so excited."

Created by Japanese startup AERWINS,

the bike is already on sale in Japan

A smaller version is slated

for a U.S. release in 2023

with an estimated price tag of $777,000
