RICTOR, a smart mobility brand incubated by Kuikwheel Technology, is advancing its vision of accessible personal flight with two innovative inventions unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.
The company introduced the world's first X4 Air Mobility Pod, a compact ultralight eVTOL, and the world's first amphibious Skyrider X1 flying motorcycle, signaling a push into low-altitude mobility markets.
The eVTOL is priced at just $39,900 with a $5,000 deposit. It's designed to be operated legally without a pilot's license under U.S. FAA Part 103 ultralight rules. The company describes it as a "hop-on-and-take-off' vehicle that dramatically lowers the barrier to personal flight.
The X4 features 8 propellers, a 4-axis configuration with carbon-fiber folding propellers, and a proprietary dynamic balance system that maintains hover stability even in moderate winds. It carries up to 100 kg of payload, noise levels are kept under 65 decibels, and it has dual-battery redundancy for safe landings.
Its design folds to 1.2 cubic meters for transport and supports in-vehicle charging.
"Our goal is not to compete with giants in the complex manned aviation track, but to pioneer a completely new, accessible market for 'light aerial mobility,'" stated the CEO of Kuickwheel Technology at the launch event. "The X4 rivals the private aircraft of high-end enthusiasts, but we've made it radically more affordable and simplified its usage."
First deliveries are expected in the second quarter of 2026.
RICTOR also revealed the Skyrider X1, an amphibious passenger flying motorcycle. It bridges land, air, and water travel with a 4-axis, 8-propeller system, carbon fiber, and aviation-grade aluminum construction. It also has a flight range of up to 40 minutes at speeds of nearly 100 km/h.
It features an automatic route planning that calculates optimal flight paths based on destination, real-time weather, and environmental adaptability. It also has automated takeoff and landing, so users can set a destination while the system manages flight operations. There is also a manual joystick control option for pilots who prefer hands-on flying. Safety systems include triple-redundant controls, comprehensive battery protection, and an emergency parachute.
RICTOR says these products represent a broader shift toward light aerial mobility, expanding beyond traditional aviation to make flight more accessible for everyday transport.
