Not content with having the world’s fastest fleet on road, Dubai’s tech-savvy police force are now looking to invest in innovative ways to protect the public from above.
Launched at this year’s Gitex Technology Week, the Hoverbike is an electric cross between a drone and motorbike, which can reach speeds of 40mph, travel for 25 minutes and carry up to 300kg, police say.
Developed by Russian company Hoversurf, the new concept is currently being trialled by Dubai police, who hope it will one day be used to get officers quickly to the scene of accidents and help avoid traffic.
