Talk about an entrance! Tsuyoshi Shinjo, nicknamed Big Boss, returned to Japan to manage the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.
USA Today reported this morning that Shinjo levitated above the field while a light show and loud music played. Shinjo astride the hover bike with multiple rotors on a black, ATV-like body and seat was a clip from the baseball show Farm to Fame.
According to a EuroNews report, the vehicle is made in Japan. The initial launch of the vehicle was covered by a New Atlas story in November of 2021. It is not clear if Shinjo purchased the bike or if it was part of a marketing campaign, but we do know that only about 200 were made during the initial production run.
Don't fret over the limited supply, hover bike customers! David Mayman, founder of JetPack, said in a previous interview that the Speeder was intended to be used in emergency response or military operations.
It's unlikely we'll see hovering motorcycles in the wild for a while, because ALI has similar use cases on its website. Don't bet on them giving your ball game a flying start. The MLB reports that the Fighters lost to the Lions.
The UK is training paramedics to use jetpacks in emergencies.
