From Gizmodo: The Detonator Is a Huge Science Fiction Motorcycle Brought to Electric Life
Daniel Simon designed the Light Cycles for Tron: Legacy and the vehicles for Captain America, but now one of his craziest concepts yet is coming to life in a street legal version. Lets hope no one kills themselves riding it.
The Detonator is an 11.5 foot electric motorcycle powered by a lithium-ion battery that gets 80-100 miles on a one-hour charge. The bike rips too�its supposed to go up to 120 mph, but heres the thing: the Detonator probably isnt the easiest bike in the world to handle. The rider sits way in the back from where they have to maneuver a huge, elongated front-end that makes even showy custom choppers with long forks look puny.
The Detonator concept was drawn-up by Simon for his futuristic vehicle design company, Cosmic Motors, and its being built by Parker Brothers Choppers, which also produced a run of real-life Light Cycles. Simons website calls the Detonator a "street cruiser bike built for humanoid droids." (Does this guy have the coolest job ever or what?) Admittedly, that sounds more like science fiction than anything your dad is going to be driving around on the weekends, but if youve got $100,000 lying around, you can have a Detonator of your own
