Cool!  Looks like a flying chair.

One problem, however.  I think they've ruled out a HUGE segment of the market with this statement:

Recommended pilot weight: Up to 200 lbs

Now, go and throw a Valk engine on it, and maybe you've got something for "The Masses" (pun intended).

(on edit):  After clicking around on their site, I found this...The Super Sky Cycle!  (It'll haul a pilot up to 250 pounds.)

Perhaps "300+" and "Ultra LIGHT" don't belong together.  I'm just sayin'. 2funny

It's like ladders.  They always under rate those things...

Oh crap... I'm late for my doctors appointment about my back...

I fell off a ladder two weeks ago...

To my knowledge, I don't think a pilots license has ever been required to fly an ultralight.
