From the vision of 2015 to the flying motorbike of the future
EFLYKE represents a dream that has become reality thanks to the fusion of relationships, events and expertise, typical of large innovative projects.
However, the heart of this story lies in the passion of an inquisitive child, Pierre, born Piercarlo Ponchionewhose love of flying and motorbikes planted the seed for this extraordinary adventure.
Origins: a child's dream
At only 11 years old, Pierre spent his afternoons taking toys apart and experimenting with batteries and cables. His goal? To fly a brush motor connected to heavy stereo batteries.
His inspiration came from maple leaves, which, as they fell, twirled like small propellers. After numerous attempts, his experiment finally came to life one day: a moment of wonderment that ignited a passion for flight that he never abandoned.
The path of EFLYKE
The realisation of a project like EFLYKE took years of research and dedication, guided by a clear vision and the determination to overcome obstacles.
It was a true collective endeavour, where skills and intuition merged to create something extraordinary.
