Umm - motorcycle mass (of relevant objects) vs those toy bicycles OK? And the angle of lean (however aided or abetted by pesky torque) is still: set by rider on a motorcycle (or bike) er 'commanding' the angle of lean via contrary force on handlebars, positioning body for correct CG height! Checkout Isle of Man -like positions and rapid body shifting, for illustration.

Good thoughts on the propulsion, though steering and powering simultaneously + above matters = time to consult the Cartercopter team for weekend duty? I can't see much way to do the usual prop drive w/o some paraplegic worries and other problems of keeping the sucker in water. Tractor treads a la Pelton water wheel?

But what I really want











Catch Rocketman?
Yeah... rocket backpack + asbestos pants and nice control via say embedded-Linux and my 'palm squeezing' control. Who needs a space-frame? Solid-fuel accessory for those long cruises (throttleable via \ufffd means natch). All the stuff's there - what are we, a buncha Wimps?
