Real Life Tron Legacy Lightcycle

[TD2253]

I was surfing the web today and stumbled upon this. Seems very awkward to ride and maneuver. Very cool though! They made only ten at $55,000 each.

the only thing that would make this more awesome was if it glowed

They made it too big. A little thinner and a little shorter and it would be fine to drive.

Looks a little uncomfortable to drive, but looks nice. Wish I could see it light up.

 

[Carpathia]

Looks like the same concept as the batcycle in The Dark Knight, and just as awkward (although, the batcycle seems to have better handling). Cool vid though.

It does, they made one in each color.

This has been around for a while even before the movie came out they were one ebay.
The coolest part is the tires, I'm not quite sure how those work but they look awesome.

I would prefer an original tron light cycle to these band I've even seen some real motorcycle modded to do that.

I believe that the tires are actually part of the motor. Think about how a DC motor works, then swap it around so that the center shaft is stationary while outside casing spins. Just stretch a tire over the outside and you got yourself a wheel. Still, it must have terrible suspension as there isnt any suspension travel and the tires are quite thin. None the less, this thing must be quite fun to cruise around town in.

That is awsome!

I saw one of those at San Diego Comicon. But I agree, it would be very awkward to drive.

 

[TD2253]

I don't see how it can go over 50 mph, let alone 120 mph though...it'll probably wobble IMO.

Saw this a while back. Very impractical. In a movie yes, in real life you probably would not want to ride it for more than 10 minutes.

 

[Contagion Outbreak]

If anyone happens to be in Omaha, Nebraska in June you can see one of these light cycles at Contagion: Outbreak at the Qwest Center Omaha! 3 day passes are only $25! Get more information at www.ContagionOutbreak.com!

lovely piece of equipment. However, this thing makes the batpod look almost practical lol
