In a few short months, the film Tron: Legacy will hit theaters, reinvigorating a once lost franchise that seemed lost in the folds of gaming history. There’s only one way to survive the world of TRON, and that’s to have the proper gear. The lifespan of a digital light racer seems to be not so good. The Tron Motorcycle Suit lets you take the Tron-style from the confines of digital software into the reality of the matrix. Each full set... Continue reading

This is no model or concept design. Available for the price of $100,000 or best offer on eBay (do they accept firstborns?), the Dark Knight Batpod, inspired from the Batman film The Dark Knight is a fully-functional motorcycle, welded together from hardened steel, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the real thing. The only part of this bike that doesn’t work exactly like the real thing is the machine guns. Pity. My plans of becoming a vigilante are thwarted again. Oh... Continue reading

Don’t worry ladies. This gator wasn’t killed for the sake of fashion. This gator was slaughtered in the name of wildlife preservation, and then was magically chosen to appear as the star character of the GatorBike. The custom-made bike, crafted from the skin and skull of a real alligator that was culled by authorities to keep their numbers down, has been created to raise funds for a wildlife charity. Jim Jablon, owner of the Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando (WROH) in... Continue reading

How old school do you like it? Project Nomad takes you WAAAAYYYY back. Back to the days when going out to get a steak was more complicated than just stepping out to your nearest grocery store. Jason Battersby’s Project Nomad is a vehicle concept with a twist. Instead of the standard wheel-based movement system, Nomad is operated with a set of four legs, much like an animal mount. The vehicle itself is controlled much like a motorcycle. Hit the jump... Continue reading

OMFG. I was sure this day would never come. And now that it’s here I’m not sure whether I should be thrilled or if I should prepare the construction of my robot world domination safety shelter. As you can see, the Norton Commando Transformer robot by Steve Twist is a full-on real life Transformer. In only seconds, the coughing Norton bot becomes a functioning motorcycle. You’ve gotta watch the video to believe it. Link

When you’re going 140 MPH on a motorcycle, why would you even consider cheaping out on the best safety equipment available to man? Now peep this Dragon Titanium motorcycle helmet, designed by Italian Prime. It’s lightweight, yet strong as an ox. And the design? Totally killer. A classic look that will look great on any style of motorcycle. It even prevents allergies. Can you say your current helmet does that? Didn’t think so. No price has been set but be...

When I first saw the these renderings of the Kvant Motorbike, sort of a cross between a snowmobile and a motorcycle, my first thought was “Wow, those really would have been a convenient way for the Rebels to get around Hoth. The tauntauns just didn’t seem to be cutting it.” Wouldn’t most people be dreaming about owning one of these babies themselves, rather than worrying about the comfort of Luke Skywalker? I think I have issues. (Though, to the tauntauns... Continue reading

Undd yah! Gud to see you my friend! I just got back from Austria and we had such a fun time! Anyways, darling, I lost so much weight on the trip that I’ve got to go shopping. Let’s go to SoHo on my Vespa and we’ll go buy clothes at Diesel and Uniqlo. After a nosh of course! Oh what what? Come here girl ’cause you have gotta see this. Look at these motherfuckers! Diesel! Making motorcycle helmets? This looks... Continue reading

Dynamically Augmenting Wheel System, or DAWS, might sound like some sort of high-tech mumbo jumbo, and for the most part, it is pretty complex. The conceptually designed wheels are divided into eight separate parts which adjust to the car’s center of gravity without losing traction. You know how motorcycle wheels sort of shift under the driver’s weight as they turn? It’s sort of like that. The segmented wheels allow your car to have the effect of rounded wheels, without the lack... Continue reading
