If you fancied owning your very own Tron Lightcycle created by The Parker Brothers which we featured here on Geeky Gadgets last year, you might be pleased to learn that the same one created by Parker Brother Choppers has now been donated by Evolve Motorcycles to auction for charity.
The real-life Tron Lightcycle replica is equipped with its own handcrafted fiberglass frame and is fitted with Evolve Motorcycles’ custom lithium-ion battery system to power the bike’s electric motor. This innovative battery system ensures that the Lightcycle not only looks futuristic but also operates with cutting-edge technology, providing a smooth and powerful ride.
Design and Features
The road-ready Tron Lightcycle is also fitted with massive 32-inch hub-less wheels, which are finished with OLED light tape to help create the effects from the Tron film as you speed along the highway. These wheels are not just for show; they are a marvel of modern engineering, providing stability and a unique aesthetic that sets the Lightcycle apart from any other motorcycle on the road.
In addition to its striking appearance, the Lightcycle features advanced ergonomics designed to offer a comfortable riding experience. The seating position and handlebar placement are optimized for both short rides and long journeys, ensuring that the rider can enjoy the bike’s performance without discomfort.
Charity Auction Details
Evolve Motorcycles normally sells the Tron Lightcycle bike for $55,000, making it a high-end piece of machinery that is both a collector’s item and a functional vehicle. The current highest bid is $25,000, but with the auction closing on March 14th, 2012, there is still time for enthusiasts and collectors to place their bids.
