Batpod Riding Video BATMAN™ Bat-Pod™ Chopper City USA Riding Replica

[breg77]

So it seems the vibes from the engine actually bend the road and this shakes the camera in the car behind ... impressive ...

[jdzitro]

What is the turning radius on this?

[essenceofdog]

the engine sounds so redneck-ish.

[howhardtogetname]

Lol he can't handle it.

[nicodanger13]

what engine u used for this? i bet not a Harley..

[90xboxfan]

U need the cape lol. It will flap.

[someonedanya2011]

cool

[ekimr90]

Do want! =D

[ericsantiago011]

lol impostor hahah but its good

[84wide]

Amazing bike, and definitely the perfect compliment to any hard-core Dark Knight collection. May I inquire upon what it cost?

[goodyearrex]

Very amazing nice project. I like that. Man the bike can not turn corners well? do u sell this bike? what's the price ?

[SpraxIAKS]

That's pretty interesting, nice job guys.

[YoGuy121]

amazing bike the parker brothers built one to but i was wondering

HOW THE HELL DOES THAT THING TURN!!!!!

because it has the huge tires wouldnt that make turning really hard

[ethan999oz]

That's effin awesome m8, you guys got real talent. Hats off to ya ! ;)

[Xintr0s]

Why is michael J fox holding the camera?

[binot]

another example of if people could think of it it (BATPOD FRM MOVIE) then we could make it happen (THIS!), whats next? space travel anyone?? =)

[Namord]

While it looks true to the movie vehicle, I only wish to know why is the riding position upright instead of leaning forward?

[choppercityUSA]

@Namord

You can ride it like Batman, the man in the video is our Builder Dave Welch, he has

a fused neck from arthritis, he cannot lay down to ride, he wouldn't be able to see.

The owner rides it in a more lay down postion.

Thank you for your comment

[gemivan]

@choppercityUSA i suppose it's better to have him doing the test ride than you doing the test ride, with your parkinson's and all..

[kiroundead]

then the original Bat-Pod is like this?

[TheDissident77]

In the movie they dubbed the sound of the bike. If you listen, and they mention it, it never 'changes' gear, just keeps revving. Thats called dubbing. Duh

[ducatiprofessional]

was there another engine you could use to make the bike more quiet? In the movie it did not sound like a V twin harley.

[lindevolean]

Should of built it around a sport bike instead of a chopper. Sport bikes have a smoother sound when they ride, instead of that popping noise with your chopper. Still a great bike though :)

[ricci530]

Amazing! So guys build the original Bat Pod for the movie? Awesome! Where is your shop located? Reason I ask is, last month, I saw the "Pod" just like this in San Mateo, CA. Could it be? We were standing around, hoping "Batman" would show up. =) lol What kind motor you put in there, just wondering...

[choppercityUSA]

@ricci530

We built the one your saw in San Mateo, CA that is the area our customer lives.

Chopper City USA is in Orange Park Florida Northeast coast of Florida

We used a 850cc Aprilia drivetrain. We did not build the one for the movie, only this one after the movie! It's great!!

[choppercityUSA]

@ANWBMotor

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

It handles better than it appears in some of the videos. It did take some getting use to and it actually manuvers very well, the owner we built it for has hundreds of city miles on it, and enjoys every second of it. His opinion is what really counts!

Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.

[BAKARDAN1]

should be automatic gearbox ehehe

[choppercityUSA]

@BAKARDAN1

It does have an automatic gearbox

We used an Aprilia Mana drivetrain, which is automatic. Thought that would be best for the riding stance, not to have to shift gears

[TheLoneShooter]

i think most of us would like one of these as it's probably the coolest vehicle i've seen in a movie since the cargo lift thingy in aliens

[choppercityUSA]

@TheLoneShooter

Thanks, we think it's the coolest also!

[stsundeck]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE SANTA BRINGS ME ONE FOR CHRISTMAS !!:) LOL Wish I had the money to commission one of those pods from you guys. That thing is awesome!!!!!

[choppercityUSA]

@stsundeck

Thanks!

[leodroz]

OK seriously.....you couldn't have shot the video from a CAR. The vibration makes this video unwatchable. Love the view of the back tire 99% of the time. How about some side shots and front view?

[choppercityUSA]

@leodroz

There are many videos of the Pod, not just this one. We shot the video in many fashions; motorcycle following, back of vehicle, on the ground, etc. Look around our videos you'll see everything you can imagine

[theeJaz]

WOW!  Your camera person needs to switch to De-Cafe --

Put a crow-bar in your wallet, and buy a tripod!

[choppercityUSA]

@theeJaz

Wow, I think the crow-bar has never been in our wallet, it flows free!

[boneyskull84]

The bike LOOKS cool and all but, it handles and rides like a fat man in an obsiticle course. NOT WELL. lol

[choppercityUSA]

@boneyskull84

It actually handles better than it appears in some of the videos. The videos were taken of the very 1st rides and on, it did take some getting use to and it actually manuvers very well, the owner we built it for has hundreds of miles on it, and enjoys every second of it.

Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.

Lots of other angles within many videos.

Outstanding work! This is what makes these hardcore builders great. They see something in a movie and say "we could build that". And then they do. Keep up the good work guys.

[choppercityUSA]

Thank you for the great words, we appreciate it.
