Hereā€™s What You Have to Do to Make a Hoverbike in Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)

The first thing youā€™ll need is a pair of Zonai Fans and a Zonai Steering Column. You can find all these items in the Device Dispenser near Hudson Construction/Tarrey Town.Then, pop them out of the capsule. Thatā€™s the easy bit.

To make the bike you need to attach the fans to the steering column. You can try using a block of wood to join them together but that just adds unnecessary weight. What you need to do is attach them at an angle, so that each fan is pointing backwards and down.

That way youā€™re getting lift but youā€™re also getting forward thrust. If you make them both face down, youā€™ll fly into the air but your battery will be exhausted before you can really go anywhere. Having them at an angle lets you take to the air but youā€™ve got plenty of forward movement.

The problem is that if you donā€™t line the fans up correctly, the vehicle will veer to one direction. What I recommend doing is looking end-on at the steering column and attaching the back fan. Then, attach the front fan at an angle looking again at the front of the column from the rear.Ā
