Electric Tron Lightcycle Hits the Streets

Posted by samzenpus on from the master-control's-new-wheels dept.

cylonlover writes "Practicality tends to take a back seat when you combine sci-fi cult status with custom chopper building — and there's no room for a pillion passenger on the Lightcycle. We first spied Parker Brothers Choppers Lightcycle project last year when it surfaced in gas-powered form, now the company has released video of a fully-electric version of the neon-packing two-wheeler in action. The electric motor may be quieter, but this one's still guaranteed to turn heads."

    it's 35K, so not really the expensive for a custom bike.
    it will go 100 miles, and travel at 100MPH.
    It recharges in 35 minute.

    Considering this is pretty much a 'ride around town' bike, all of that is a fine trade off.
