Real life TRON light cycle inspired by movie

The light cycle in the new TRON movie is one of the coolest movie motorcycles ever seen. But it's creators never intended the computer animated cycle to work in the real world. Enter Mark and Shanon Parker, who decided to try and build a real life working light cycle with nothing more than a picture from the movie to guide them.

awesome but does it light up? that is the question lol

[FLIPminoman]

It makes sense for it to be bad at steering because in the movie you lean too steer it and you have an entire stadium to turn

Perhaps the batpod was designed behind the Tron 1980's bike. This thing is awesome, but, after a motorcycle accident where I fractured my ankle, I WILL NEVER RIDE A MOTORCYCLE AGAIN.

I'm taking pilot lessons instead.

@Plamen2007 yes it does

[MrChullee]

did the reporter say 'shlick cycle?'

[DevilMaster]

Is it just me or they made it too big? Just compare the actual bike at 0:35 with the movie scene at 0:37: in the first sequence, the guy has to spread his legs way wider and you can barely see him because the bike is so big!
