Cyclotron is the 'Tron' light cycle you peddle

The dream of riding one of the light cycles from the movie Tron just got a lot closer to becoming a reality. Composed of lightweight carbon fiber, the Cyclotron's most distinctive feature is its spokeless wheels, which, when paired with its blue LED trim, look a lot like the digital motorcycles from the classic sci-fi film. No, there's no official connection to the film franchise, but the similarities between the iconic light cycle and this creation are unmistakable. The bike was recently launched as a Kickstarter project and has already raised over 128,000 of its 56,000 goal, and the campaign still has a few days to go. In place of the wheel's spokes, the bike offers utility slots, which can be used to hold carrying cases inside the back and front wheels. The sleek vehicle is controlled in part by what the company calls an internal, 18-speed "E-Gear Box" with electronic shifting, as well as an encapsulated chainless drive train.
