JetScooter: the flying Vespa
Last time we saw a futuristic design from Deviantartist "Peanuts23," it was the mean, lean JetBike. If the JetBike was designed for speed demons who love high-flying fun, then the JetScooter would be for the rest of us to take to the grocery store.
It's got a front like a Vespa, but the sleek body will still rope in those who don't like the aesthetic. Really, though, if you make it hover, I'll definitely be into it. Check out more of the JetScooter in the gallery below.

3 analog-looking gagues on a flying bike... Right. And you would put your groceries WHERE exactly, as you zipped home on your *JET* bike?

So, this has repulser lifts or something? If you were to actually put groceries on it, you would do what you do with a scooter now. You would get the baskets or the add-on containers. Then you would look like a dork just like you do on a normal scooter. But, I bet you can move faster on this thing to not hear the laughs.

I can see it now...
A car pulls up behind and the driver leans on the horn because you're taking it easy and you hit the afterburner, melting the bumper and grill... :-)

Didn't I see Count Doku riding this thing in Episode 2?

Wicked. I must own one if they come out in maxi-scooter form instead of Vespa.

It would make sense if this was posted over at SciFi Wire, but it has no place here on DVICE. DVICE is for new and upcoming REAL technology. This is a purely SCIENCE FICTION effort.
