36Kr has learned that at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) in Las Vegas, USA, RICTOR, an international brand incubated by Kuai Lun Technology, released two new products - a flying motorcycle and an electric go-kart boat.

The RICTOR flying motorcycle, Skyrider X1, as an amphibious manned vehicle, is equipped with 4 axes and 8 propellers. It is made of carbon fiber composite aviation aluminum material, ensuring performance and durability. The maximum flight speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour, and the maximum flight time is up to 40 minutes, with a 50kw on-board DC charging pile.

Another feature of the Skyrider X1 is that it has an automatic route planning function, which can automatically plan the best flight path according to the set target, and automatically adjust the flight altitude, speed and direction according to real-time weather and environmental changes to ensure an efficient and safe flight experience.

In addition, the addition of the automatic takeoff and landing function further reduces the flight risk, allowing the pilot to simply set the destination, and the aircraft can automatically complete the takeoff and landing process according to the preset route. It also supports manual control and joystick operation to meet different flight needs.

In terms of safety, the Skyrider X1 is equipped with a triple redundant flight control system to ensure safe flight even after losing one engine in extreme cases. At the same time, the BMS battery safety protection and the equipped safety parachute provide users with all-round safety guarantees.

Kuai Lun Technology believes that compared with the low-altitude flight products currently on the market, the Skyrider X1 will have more advantages in terms of portability, flexibility and price.

The electric go-kart boat is RICTOR's new product in the water travel field. It adopts a full solid EPP with a metal frame design, which is lightweight and sturdy, with a maximum load of 150 kilograms. It is equipped with a strong rated power of 15,000 watts to ensure sufficient power and a lasting battery life of up to 70 minutes. At the same time, it can speed at a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour.

Kuai Lun Technology has been committed to the product research and development and innovation in the field of intelligent short-distance travel. Its core products include electric scooters, electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. Through the dual strategies of the consumer end and the sharing economy end, its products have been sold to more than 80 countries and regions around the world.

In recent years, with the rapid development of technology and the diversification of people's travel needs, eVTOL technology has gradually become a hot topic in the travel field. The low-altitude economy has received continuous policy support at the policy level in the past two years. Last year, the low-altitude economy was written into the "Government Work Report" as a "new growth engine" for the first time.

The China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute released the "Research Report on the Development of China's Low-altitude Economy (2024)", predicting that the scale of the low-altitude economy is expected to exceed one trillion yuan and reach 1,064.46 billion yuan by 2026.

The release of the flying motorcycle and the electric go-kart boat is an important step based on the technology accumulated by Kuai Lun Technology in the past to layout the land, sea and air travel fields, and also timely conforms to the market trend of the domestic development of the low-altitude economy.
