(CNN)- The flying motorbike is back in Dubai

A year after California-based startup Hoversurf showcased its hoverbike at tech expo GITEX in the white and green livery of the Dubai Police, the company has returned with a new model and evidence its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle might be, well, taking off.

Making good on a deal signed in 2017, Hoversurf has now gifted Dubai Police its first serial production unit of the S3 2019 Hoverbike and has begun training officers to fly it.

Brigadier Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi, general director of Dubai Police's artificial intelligence department, described the eVTOL vehicle as a first responder unit used to access hard to reach areas. He said he aims to have hoverbikes in action by 2020.

Hoversurf S3 2019 Hoverbike

Weight: 253 lbs

Total thrust: 802 lbs

Max speed: 60 mph

Safe flying altitude: 16 ft

Flight time with pilot: 10-25 minutes

Flight time in drone mode: up to 40 minutes

Charge time: 2.5 hours

Price: $150,000

"Currently we have two crews already training (to pilot the hoverbike) and we're increasing the number," he told CNN. Hoversurf chief operating officer Joseph Segura-Conn explained that ideal candidates will be able to ride a motorcycle and have drone operating experiences. Video of one officer learning to pilot the hoverbike appeared online last month.

Segura-Conn said Dubai Police have exclusive rights to order as many units as they want: "They're going to let us know in the next month or two if they'd like any more ... If they would like 30 or 40, we'll make it happen for them."

If you're not a member of the force and have a spare $150,000, the hoverbike could still be yours. Orders are open to civilians, but Segura-Conn cautions that buyers are screened to ensure they can handle the new tech.

In the US, the hoverbike has met Federal Aviation Administration guidelines which mean you do not need a pilot's license to fly the vehicle.

FTC

Nigeria too will get there if they vote wisely....

Our police are still forming James Bond on top Toyota Hilux

The exchange rate is #360 flat. So $150,000 × #360 equals to #54.0Mil representing costing for one unit of hoverbike. There are 37 lead police commands including FCT. Thus, multiply #54.0Mil by 37 units totalling over #1.9Bil (#1,998,000,000). To ensure a stronger presence of rural policing, the NPF should facilitate purchase of additional 774 units of hoverbike to be domiciled in local government police divisions. No need to work out the total costing. Buhari can't ok procurement of over 800 units of hoverbike from Daura.

you over value then. they are packed like stock fish behind a pickup unprotected defending bullet proof bullion van. only to accidentally kill the unprotected people they're meant to protect.

At last, film trick's becoming reality. The Divine Power in us can accomplish anything. Alas that this power lies predominantly fallow in Africa especially!

Country that knows what to do with Crude Oil money.

Yet Nigerian leaders are busy sharing oil proceeds!!
