On June 16th, Kuailun Technology unveiled the world's first reverse-tricycle amphibious flying motorcycle, the Skyrider X6, at JD.com's Global Customer Service Center.
Simultaneously with its debut, the Skyrider X6 was auctioned on JD.com Auction. After 4 hours and 54 rounds of bidding, it sold for a final price of 427,300 RMB (approximately $58,800 USD at current exchange rates)!
This "flying motorcycle" was independently developed by Kuailun Technology, a high-tech enterprise founded in 2014 and focused on the smart short-distance mobility sector. Kuailun Technology is dedicated to R&D in two-wheeled new energy vehicles, with a product line including electric scooters, E-bikes, and electric motorcycles. The company possesses deep expertise in core electric powertrain systems ("Three Electrics"), flight control algorithms, and vehicle manufacturing, holding over 280 national patents.
Kuailun Technology states that the Skyrider X6 offers a novel "three-dimensional" solution to urban congestion, expanding travel space from the ground to the air. It has the potential to become a significant component of future urban transportation.
According to the company, the Skyrider X6 is an amphibious vehicle with a core innovation: dual-mode switching between Land and Flight modes.
Land Mode: Operates as a reverse-tricycle electric motorcycle with a top speed of 70 km/h and a range of 200 km.
Flight Mode: Utilizes a 6-axis, 6-propeller system to achieve a top flight speed of 72 km/h and an airborne endurance of 20 minutes per flight cycle.
It features a lightweight carbon fiber + aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame combined with a mid-mounted rear-wheel drive design for stability and handling. The vehicle is equipped with an intelligent flight control system (including auto take-off/landing and route planning) and dual control modes (auto/manual). Triple redundancy safety systems include multi-motor coordination, dual flight control backups, and an emergency parachute. Its 10.5 kWh battery supports 1-hour fast charging via a car charger, ideally addressing urban short-distance commuting and emergency flight needs.
