The hoverbike, capable of flying 16ft above ground, is seen emblazoned with Dubai police emblems as it is tested for the cameras.
The video shows the machine being piloted by a Dubai police officer dressed head-to-toe in black. The police officer is seen mounting the hoverbike before it takes off - with considerable force - into the air.
The hoverbike also doubles as an unmanned drone, and was designed by Russian company Hoversurf. It was unveiled at GITEX this week.
