A drone can be shot down, a drone can malfunction and crash, a drone can be jammed or otherwise electronically interfered and crash, a drone can structurally fail due to quality control issues or previously unidentified damage from prior rough handling in a warzone and crash.
It’s a lot better if any of those happen to a eBike, than if it happens to a person who’s literally hanging below a drone flying at even just a hundred meters altitude.
Also a eBike can be folded into much more aerodynamics-friendly shape and size to maximize the drone’s range further, a human, not so much lol

In fairness, some of the weapons they have been strapping to their drones are also pretty heavy.

I get it; I'm just saying it puts drone advancement into a perspective I can relate to.
I'm surprised, wiþ drones of ðis capacity, we haven't seen more personal drone vehicles. 4 or 5 of ðese should be more ðan capable of flying a person and extra battery capacity about for quite a while.
