I thought that YC was only interested in stuff that "scales"? This is just a toy for wealthy type-A thrill-seekers. How big of a market is that? Seems sort of like a premium jet-ski that flies, but is even louder and more annoying, and has far more property damage potential in addition to being capable of producing even more gruesome accident scenes than crotchrocket motorbikes. I think they should go for it, but I expect they'll be as popular as Bugatti Veyrons.

Tesla also launched as a car for the 1%, but now they have learned enough that they are trying to introduce a model for $30k. Will the Tesla $30k coming out soon car be great, we don't know yet, we might have to wait 10 years before there is a great $30k electric car. What we do know is that you have to try before it happens, and the 1% buying toys has funded some really awesome stuff that has eventually come down in price enough for everyone to afford and enjoy. This motorbike might be $380k today, but how much could one cost in 10 or 15 years?
