Dubai Police, already home to Lamborghini patrol cars, self‑driving robots and android officers, has decided to take to the skies in what can only be described as a flying motorbike.

The vehicle, called the Scorpion and designed by Russian tech company Hoversurf, relies on four propellers to stay airborne, with the rider crouched close to the exposed blades.

After appearing at tech shows earlier this year, Dubai Police has decided to add one to its list of cutting‑edge gadgets, all part of the force's "smart city" plans.

 

According to the Facebook page of Hoversurf CEO Alexander Atamanov, the company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Dubai Police and has been invited to open mass production of the vehicle in the Dubai area.
