Got bored this evening, so I put together this 'cyberpunkish' hoverbike:

I like the color a lot.

The thing I find strange is the boosters. Maybe make them point down instead of up, then find a way to tilt the body of the bike down in the front. It will look more streamlined that way.

That's a great looking hover bike. I like the exhausts. It's a bit Rich Corporate SalaryMan rather than Edge Runner though.

cool looking indeed, I like the way you substituted the front wheeler for the headlight. You know those chrome truck exhausts? they would great here :)

@Warhead: Indeed it's a more everyday wealthydude bike.

@BFenix: Yep, but I'm chromeophobic.

I kinda enjoyed the overall build, and the way it ended up, so more in the same style might come...

I had been thinking wither it would be worth while getting a few of these bike frames and gussying them up as hoverbikes. Now I know they look pretty cool so might end up getting some for an army. Thanks.

I'll be looking forward to more Cyberpunk stuff Zahru.

Oh, wow!!

Not sure I like the colours, but it's probably just the flash from your camera. I like the bottom rounded black parts at the front. They make for a cool front end.

Yeah it's a tone brighter because my camera has a flash as powerful as a lighthouse.

I think I've got some trikes lying around somewhere. gonna do some hovering when I got the time
- I refuse to be stopped by something as irrelevant as logic, the laws of physics, or common sense -

if 20 chickens can fit in a brick, how many pingpongballs does a crocodile have to eat so it can swim faster than a washing machine?

I did something similar with my trike, except with skis instead of hovering. I also tried to make it look chopper-ish, I'll post it up soon.
