Leo Flight has unveiled its JetBike electric air speeder at CES 2026, presenting what the company describes as a propeller-free, battery-powered ultralight aircraft that can be flown in the United States without a pilot’s license under existing federal regulations.
The single-seat JetBike, priced at $99,900, has already sold out all units allocated for 2026 and 2027 pre-orders, Leo Flight said. Customers were required to place a $999 deposit, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Designed to qualify under the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 103 ultralight aircraft rules, the JetBike’s size, weight and operating limits mean pilots are not required to hold a formal flight license. The aircraft is limited by software to a maximum flight height of about 15 feet (4.6 metres) above ground level and a top speed of roughly 60 miles per hour (97 kph). Its battery-powered system provides up to 15 minutes of flight time, translating to an estimated range of about 15 miles (24 km).
Leo Flight said the JetBike’s design avoids exposed propellers, instead using multiple air jets to generate lift and forward motion. The company says this approach improves safety and keeps noise levels to around 80 decibels. Despite the lack of licensing requirements, Leo Flight and industry observers have noted that pilots should consider training or simulator practice to prepare for unexpected flight conditions.

The aircraft has a footprint of about 6.5 by 6.5 feet (1.98 by 1.98 metres), allowing it to be stored in a standard garage and recharged at home. Leo Flight has not yet disclosed additional specifications, including whether safety features such as an emergency parachute will be included.
The JetBike’s debut adds to a growing field of electric vertical take-off and landing and ultralight personal aircraft showcased at CES, as companies test consumer interest in short-range electric flight under existing regulatory frameworks.
