Price and how to order
Do you need a license to fly the Volonaut Airbike?
Volonaut says no license is needed to fly the Airbike in the US because it is designed to meet the FAA ultralight rules (Part 103). This is a design target, not a confirmed status. Part 103 allows one occupant, recreation or sport use only, under 254 lb empty weight, no more than 5 US gallons of fuel and no more than 55 knots (63 mph) in level flight. Flying is limited to daylight, away from congested areas and crowds, with ATC approval needed for controlled airspace near airports. Volonaut has not published the Airbike's fuel capacity.

Questions people ask
How much does the Volonaut Airbike cost?
$880,000, according to Volonaut's preorder page. That is paid as a $2,000 non-refundable reservation, an $80,000 build-slot deposit and a final $798,000 payment.
When can you buy the Volonaut Airbike?
For now you can only reserve one. Volonaut has not given a delivery date. Coverage in 2025 said production was slated for 2026, and the preorder terms say buyers will be contacted once the production version is frozen.
Do you need a pilot's license to fly the Volonaut Airbike?
Volonaut says no pilot's license will be needed in the US, because the Airbike is designed to meet FAA ultralight (Part 103) rules with speed capped at 63 mph. That is the company's claim. Part 103 also caps fuel at 5 US gallons, and Volonaut has not published the Airbike's fuel capacity. Owners would still get company-led training.
Has the Volonaut Airbike actually flown?
Volonaut has released videos of a prototype flying since May 2025, and in April 2026 it said it had completed test flights in California. No independent body has published flight test results, and some viewers questioned the first videos.
