Hahahaha! Awesome! Man, I can't wait for that movie to come out! I've already watched the original twice to get prepped! (Geek alert... )

They do light up, at least it did on the eBay listing. They were selling 5 or maybe 7, each one lit up a different color.
The riding position looks a lot like the drag bike riding position... I can't imagine that you can actually ride that thing. I remember when they were filming the 2nd Batman movie with Christian Bale, he wanted to personally ride the Batcycle/Bat Pod... or whatever it was called. They wouldn't let him because it was impossible to ride, and even the pro-riders/stuntmen had a very hard time handling it due to the fat tires. |

if they had done two independent thinner wheels using independent suspension on each side, it might have worked out a lot better for turning.

Screw that thing, would look good at Starbucks or bike night but to ride it would suck ass. Looks like it would handle like crap, and should you ever go down it looks like it would give 0 protection and launch you like a missile into what ever is in front of you.

it doesn't matter what suspension they used, because with the light bike you're only supposed to do turns at a 90 degree angle

I sent my buddy this link, we just watched Tron and I told him how I would love the Ducati that was on there and he stated he rather get a tron light cycle, I told him not to be stupid it doesn't exist.
