Fully Functional Life-Size TRON Motorbike for Sale
Tron: Legacy was a slick looking film, and I absolutely loved all of the designs that I saw in it. Especially the new designs of the lightcycles. I remember thinking to myself, "I would love to have one of those!" Well, a fully function version of the bike exists. It is an exact replica built for the Andrews Collection, which is one of America’s biggest and best car collections.
The bike is now being sold at auction, and it's in nearly brand new condition. It has only been ridden around the storage at the Andrews collection. The auction is being conducted by Sotheby’s, and if you have $25,000 - $40,000 laying around, it could be yours.
I really wish I had the money for something like this, but here are the details:
96 volt, direct-drive electric motor with lithium batteries and a computer-controlled throttle, rebound and compression damping with spring-preload front suspension and rigid rear suspension, and front and rear hydraulic brakes.
A recreation of the Tron: Legacy motorcycle
Functional electric motorcycle
The ultimate homage for any fan
This custom electric vehicle was built especially for the Andrews Collection to recreate the unique motorcycles seen in the 2010 movie Tron: Legacy. It is a highly compelling work of mobile art that has an enduring connection to pop culture.
The bike was partially built by an outside firm and then sent to the Andrews’s own shop for completion. It is a fully functioning motorcycle that can be ridden, as it is powered by a direct-drive electric motor that has lithium batteries, which is mated to a computer-controlled digital electronic transmission. This custom Tron tribute boasts a very low seat height of 28.5 inches, making it easy to ride even at low speeds. The motorcycle is finished in black with a white stripe and boasts an imposing stance to match its performance.
After its completion by the Andrews’ in 2012, the bike has only been ridden around their facilities to ensure that it remains in functioning condition. As such, it is in as-new condition and would be an ideal piece for any collection of movie memorabilia. It is unlikely that a similar motorcycle will ever be produced or made available for purchase, making this a truly unique opportunity.
