My invention is a flying bike. The flying bike has two wheels and a pair of wings. You can either ride the bike on the ground or fly it in the air. Besides, you can not only take pictures of the beautiful scenery, but also communicate with others when using the flying bike.
The flying bike has its own advantages. Firstly, its high speed can help you reach your destination quickly.!Secondly, the flying bike uses solar power as energy, which can reduce air pollution. Therefore, it is environmentally friendly to use the flying bike.
What's more, the flying bike will be made of light material so that people can carry it conveniently. I believe it will be popular in the future.
