If you have seen the Tron movies, then some where deep down inside, you have to admit you wish you could ride one of those beasts. Well, good news, you are not not alone. In fact, it appears that some motorcycle fabricators have indeed made rideable replicas of the "Light Cycle."
The Parker Brothers of Melbourne Florida initially found success after building a replica Batmobile motorcycle. They knew they had found their next challenge after hearing CGI had to be used for the Tron Legacy motorcycles, because the bike was "unbuildable,"
They initially used gas engines, but later teamed up with Evolve Motorcycles (known for their electric scooters) to make an electric version. So if you have an extra $55,000 to $70000 lying around, then your dream of flying around on a light cycle can be yours.
Below I have included some videos featuring the replica "Light Cycle." The first video has a gas engine, the second an electric engine, and the last includes more of a history of the design of the bike with some Playboy models thrown in for some good fun (may not be suitable for minors.)
