The Velavis Flyke

Velavis is a flyke—a relatively new mobility concept that is a cross between a recumbent bicycle and a motorized paraglider. It combines the advantages of each of these forms of transport, thus offering the pilot a new dimension in mobility and independence.
For the first time in the history of aviation, the Velavis flyke, which falls into the category of ultra-light aircraft, allows ambitious hobby pilots to move through the air and on the ground with one and the same vehicle and thus remain mobile after landing.

The real Flyke has been around a long time now, see here: http://www.fresh-breeze.de/en/products/trikes/flyke.html

I guess the difference is some neat styling and the option of electric power (I'm guessing it has an electric option, from the styling).

I had a go in one about 5 or 6 years ago, before the UK importer discovered they were illegal here.....................
