It may sound like a beginning of a science fiction movie, but BMW and LEGO were able to defy some fundamental laws of physics and design a flying motorcycle. Dubbed as the Hover Ride Design Concept, the flying motorcycle looks it was snatched right out of a futuristic film.

The flying motorcycle is based on the LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure model kit. It is a model kit composed of 603 parts which allow LEGO enthusiasts to construct a miniature version of the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure best-selling bike, according to Financial Express.

It appears that BMW was so impressed with LEGO's miniature take on the company's best-selling car that it has decided to create a full-sized replica. BMW's replica is equipped with front wheel propellers and its design simply screams futuristic. The design of the bike also makes it look like it is part of a "Transformers" movie.

 

In a statement acquired by Daily Mail, BMW Motorrad head of sales and marketing Heiner Faust said, "BMW Motorrad approached Lego Group with the idea of a collaboration because the two companies have much in common: they both successfully combine innovation and tradition in their brands and products, providing unforgettable experiences for young and old alike all over the world."

The Hover Ride Design Concept made its first official debut at the Lego World in Copenhagen, Denmark. BMW confirmed that the bike will be moved to various locations in order for other people to get a glimpse of what future bikes might look like.

The Hover Ride Design Concept will not hit the market soon, as it is just a concept idea. However, BMW said that the company is optimistic about the bike's futuristic concept. BMW will most likely play with the idea behind this concept bike in order to create a realistic one that really works.
