For those whose obsessions revolve around collecting futuristic themed memorabilia, the movie ‘Tron Legacy’ holds a very special meaning. Whether it’s the leather biking suits, or the light cycles, the movie franchisee seems to have captured the imagination of every movie buff, due to which these creative memorabilia keep coming from time to time. After the limited edition street-legal Tron Lightcycle was sold off at an auction, another 100% electric bike is up for grabs through charitybuzz. Built by Evolve Motorcycles, this bike will be custom made for winner of the bidding process, who will get it after 90 days of final order.
Evolve Tron LightcycleIn an age when eco-friendly mechanisms seem to be need of the hour, owing to high pollution and increasing oil prices around the world, this light cycle replica seems to be the perfect solution with its Lithium-Ion battery set. With up to 100 miles in distance range on a single charge, this bike can travel with speeds of up to 100 Mph (160.9 kmph), and since all the power comes from the battery, there are no emissions! Delving deeper into the engine specifications, there is the 40,000W motor which drives the vehicle along with the 120ah LIFe PO4 battery which could take around 4 hours to charge, and retains the power till the entire range is exhausted.
Evolve Tron LightcycleIn terms of the bike’s fabrication, 32-inch hub-less wheels, along with the OLED light tape on the sides which would be ideal for the darker time of the day. What comes as a fascinating detail is that the smoothly finished black body has been entirely crafted out of fiber glass, meaning that the total bodyweight is light, making it very easy to handle at high speeds. But what seemed to be slightly more on the longer side is the 8-foot body length but then with the lights on the sides, it just might be a crucial thing for the overall aesthetics. Also, with the sale of this bike, the proceeds to the Global Green USA charity house, which has been associated with the cause since quiet some time in past.
