class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Designers Hoversurf presented the flying contraption to Dubai authorities at GITEX, an annual technology trade fair in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The firm said they could provide 30 or 40 to Dubai if police were interested and said the emirate&#8217;s law enforcement had exclusive rights to order as many vehicles as they needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Civilians will also be able to buy the contraption for $150,000 (\u00a3114,000) but will have to be screened to establish whether they can use it safely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The 253-pound, battery-powered bike can fly for up to 40 minutes in its &#8216;drone mode&#8217; before it will need recharging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Featuring three-bladed propellers it can fly at\u00a060mph up to 16 feet above the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The dimensions of the hoverbike allow it to be rolled in a standard doorway while also being able to take off from an ordinary parking space, the company said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Hoversurf said on its website: &#8216;By combining our custom built flight controller, the most innovative composite material processes and having a dedicated team we were able to achieve something truly amazing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;We presented the S3 2019 to the Dubai Police at this years GITEX 2018 where it will now be integrated into there fleet of futuristic vehicles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Both Hoversurf and Dubai Police understand that this is just the begging to something much larger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;A partnership were both see the future is within our grasp and that together we can materialize the human dream of personal flight.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"moduleFull mol-video\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div
