RICTOR, an international brand incubated by KUICKWHEEL, made its debut at at CES 2025 in Las Vegas with solutions centered around the theme of “Future Mobility.”

At the Central Hall’s all-domain mobility showcase, RICTOR displayed the Skyrider X1 flying motorcycle, the company’s latest breakthrough in the eVTOL field.

Designed as an amphibious vehicle, the flying motorcycle seamlessly combines land and air functionality, offering users greater freedom in driving experiences.

Design Features

The Skyrider X1 is equipped with a 4-axis, 8-propeller system, and is built from carbon fiber composite and aviation-grade aluminum. It achieves a maximum flight speed of 100 km/h, with a flight duration of up to 40 minutes, supported by a 50 kW onboard DC charging station.

The flying motorcycle features automatic route planning and can adjust flight height, speed, and direction based on real-time weather and environmental changes, significantly reducing flight risks. 

The addition of automatic take-off and landing functions enhance convenience and safety. For pilots seeking manual control, the Skyrider X1 also supports manual operation and joystick controls, catering to diverse flying preferences.

Safety Enhancements

Safety is paramount in the Skyrider X1’s design, featuring triple-redundant flight control systems to ensure safe operation even if an engine fails. The system includes BMS battery safety protection and an integrated emergency parachute for comprehensive safety assurance.

Compared to existing low-altitude flying products, the Skyrider X1 stands out with its lightweight build, enhanced flexibility, and affordable pricing. By balancing high performance with affordability, RICTOR reportedly aims to reach new heights in smart mobility and bring the power of flight within reach for more users.
