Love the Tron Light Cycle from Tron: Legacy? Have $55,000 sloshing around?

Hammacher Schlemmer has a street legal Tron Light Cycle for you. It’s not exactly the same as the screen version of the Tron Light Cycle because…well…you know, physics but it’s pretty damn close.

The makers says it’s “designed for casual cruising and slow ride-bys” but it still comes packing a 966cc Suzuki four-stroke engine, a six-speed manual transition and the quite, quite mad virtually-horizontal riding position. It’s rimless wheels are modified truck wheels. Anyone want to lend us $55,000?

You can see the Tron Segway on video after the break…

Steve Jobs comes up at the strangest times. During our trip to scope out Tron: Legacy, we got a chance to speak to Stephen Lisberger, the creator and director of the original Tron movie and now an executive producer on the sequel.
