Have you watched Tron: Legacy and wanted to try out one of those Lightcycles? Me too. Now the custom choppers? outfit Parker Brothers has managed to recreate one that is street legal.
The electric Tron Lightcycle is actually their second attempt at making one. The first ran on gasoline, so couldn?t be classed as a true replica. This second model can though, because it uses an electric motor.
The combination of a 96-volt motor and lithium-ion batteries on board allows the Lightcycle to reach speeds in excess of 100mph. Now imagine that flying past you on the highway late at night with its body lights turned on. It would certainly be an awesome sight, but not as awesome as actually being the one riding it.
Charging the battery takes a mere 35 minutes, and in return you get a range of 100 miles. That?s not bad considering this would just be a runaround bike, and not something you can really carry anything on or would want to drive cross-country.
As for the price of buying one, we have no idea. The previous model cost $55,000, so I?d expect it to be about the same if I was pushed for a guess. There?s bound to be a few Tron fans out there with enough spare cash to request one built, but for the moment you are only likely to see this first electric Lightcycle in the Florida area.
Parker Brothers say they built the Lightcycle as a demonstration to those ?people that lacked faith in our abilities.? But we?re totally convinced, and they clearly know what they are doing when it comes to building custom motorcycles.
