The Dart Skycycle is an American single-seat, high wing, strut-braced, single engine, conventional landing gear ultralight aircraft that was designed by Robert Dart and are produced by Dart Aircraft of Mayville, New York for amateur construction.

Introduced in 1985, the Skycycle is a single seater designed as an FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles compliant aircraft with an empty weight within that category's 254 lb (115 kg) empty weight limit.

The aircraft has a 4130 steel tube frame fuselage and a wing constructed from spruce, all covered in doped fabric.

The landing gear is bungee suspended. The Skycycle can be built with an open cockpit or fully enclosed, allowing flying in cooler weather.

The Skycycle was available as plans only or with some pre-fabricated components, such as the welded fuselage or assembled wings already completed.

The standard engine specified was the 28 hp (21 kW) Rotax 277.
