The EH216-S boasts a range of only 22 miles

Oh yes, flying cars are finally here.

Even a really low end ebike can do better than that, and compared to the 300k price tag of this flying car, the cost of said ebike would literally be a rounding error.

Speaking of price tag, you could buy a REAL plane, a cessna 310, with a 1000 mile range (870 nautical) for less than the cost of this!

But if I had an ebike, I'd have to share the roadway with plebeians.

And in a city like Los Angeles, it is an honest debate as to whether a flying car is safer than biking.
