Parker Brothers LightcycleHardcore <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/tron">TRON</a> fans will soon be able to fly around town on an <a href="http://inhabitat.com/moto-undone-minimalist-mirrored-electric-motorcycle-flies-through-the-streets/" target="_blank">emissions-free</a> Lightcycle, as <a href="http://www.parkerbrotherschoppers.com/" target="_blank">Parker Brothers Choppers</a> just unveiled a working electric model! Last year, they introduced a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/street-legal-electric-tron-lightcycles-for-sale-on-ebay/" target="_blank">gas-powered version</a> of the futuristic LED Lightcycle, and although the electric bike is still being tested, it will soon be street legal, satisfying eco-nerds everywhere. The Lightcycle is not recommended for heavy use, but Parker Brothers claim that it can reach a top speed of 100 mph. A 15-35 minute charge will give the bike enough juice for a 100 mile joyride - with enough power left to impress your friends with a TRON light show.1
Parker Brothers LightcycleThe Lightcycle comes complete with a TRON-style helmet for the rider, and with a flip of a switch the bike's <a href="http://inhabitat.com/photos-100-danish-pendants-shine-at-copenhagen-design-week-2011/" target="_blank">LED lights</a> fire up, illuminating the rims and body of the vehicle.2
