These guys are making and selling electric Tron Lightcycles (for 55,000 bucks).



Here's a short vid. of the Lightcycle moving about.

That thing looks damn near impossible to ride but yeah, if I had the cash-money, I'd rock the hell out of it.

Seems impractical for long rides, but it can only go 100 miles anyway before it needs to be recharged, so yeah, just something to ride around town in and show off.

I always thought Kaneda's bike should become a reality too but the turning radius is just too long for u-turns. You'd have to get in the next lane over, I would think, to pull off a smooth one. Not to mention only Kaneda looks cool in it. Tetsuo proved that for us.

Give me Clown's bike any day of the week, though...

Unlike weeaboo wet dreams, that design could definitely translate very well to real life. .

I would get around this w/ two wheel steering. Just like in a modern Monster Truck...a handle is used to operate the rear for tight turns.

The bike would probably fall completely over. Also at higher speeds, you counter steer on motorcycles to turn.
