ISON Airbike

[3] The single seat Airbike was designed to meet the requirements of the United States FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles, including the maximum 254 lb (115 kg) empty weight.

[2] The Tandem Airbike retains all of the single-seater's features and has a stretched fuselage to accommodate the second seat.

[2] The fuselage is made from welded 4130 steel tube and the aircraft has conventional landing gear with tail wheel steering connected to the rudder pedals.

The kit included a pre-welded fuselage and tail, pre-built main wing spars and ribs, all brackets and fittings, landing gear, engine, propeller, instruments and a five-gallon fuel tank.

[2] In December 1998 the company reported that 127 single-seaters were flying (the majority as US unregistered ultralights) and 23 tandem-seaters.
