TRON Motorcycle Suit Looks Straight From the Moviedon’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about the new TRON movie. I mean the original TRON was

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about the new Tron movie. I mean the original TRON was a lot of fun, but was obviously hamstrung by the lack of movie magic technology at the time, creating sometimes comical special effects. Now free of those problems, I think the new movie will at the very least live up to its predecessor. The coolest scenes (from both movies) involve the bikes, of course, and with your authentic Tron Movie Replica Leather Motorcycle suit, you’ll look just as badass.

Admittedly, while I wouldn’t want to wear this baby on a hot summer day, the replica is incredibly detailed. The full set includes a jacket, pants, gloves, and boots. It is made of CE approved body armor and form molded leather detailing. It even has light sensitive reflective accents for… well something. Being form fitting, it also has heavy duty stretch spandex inserts. Yeah, you better start hitting the gym before you decide to don this masterpiece. They do come in his or her sizes as well, so you could get one for the girlfriend/wife and be a matching pair. I could even see it making a good Halloween costume, assuming you don’t melt from the heat, anyway.

While it won’t make you super strong or protect you against quite as much as a super powered exoskeleton, there’s still plenty to like here. You could make a kick ass ensemble with one of these weird motorcycle, too. It would be a fun experiment just to see how many people would get the reference. Considering the movie isn’t out yet, probably not all that many. Best to wait till the movie is actually released before doing an official poll. Of course at a price of $995 for the full set, you’ll need to be dedicated to the cause of TRON and open up your wallet.

Uno Motorcycle Ready to Fly

After the popularity of EMBRIO, a motorcycle that can balance itself on one wheel, people are now geared up to welcome the new battery electric Uno Motorcycle.

This new electric bike is just ready to fly and it looks just like a regular motorbike riding on a high speed. The unique thing about Uno Motorbike is that when it slows down, its wheels realign themselves in a side by side configuration to make it look like a unicycle.

Gulak, a Canadian studying Mechanical Engineering at Harvard, is one of the masterminds behind this off road vehicle that is also known as the DTV Shredder. Gulak with his father went to see a number of smoky and combustion engine two stroke scooters and motorcycles to create this masterpiece bike.

Gulak then proceeded to make this motorcycle with the help of an angle iron, batteries, gyroscopes, and wheelchair motors. Uno motorbike also has an appealing orange color that makes it attractive in looks. Moreover, its one wheeled look is simply superb and makes it look like a flying machine without a second thought.

Uno is also considered to be the Segway rocket hybrid that has been especially designed for teenagers. This super cool bike weighs about 120lbs and has the capability to work for about 2.5 hours on an electric motor. You will be surprised to know that the bike actually doesn’t have any controls apart from its handle bars and it depends on the rider’s ability to ride it in balancing his or her weight.

The basic idea to drive Uno is to lean in the direction you want to go and to increase its acceleration, you need to lean forward and to drive reverse, lean backwards. The initial idea of Uno motorbike came up in 2006 in Gulak’s mind. This is indeed a green innovation that works on electric battery and gives the rider a pleasure to ride it.

This bike features just two buttons and they are the on and off buttons. This bike has been rightly described as the “one wheeled motorcycle” for its closely spaced non-axial drive wheels. The most appealing feature of this bike is that its steering is controlled by the side to side motion of the rider.

Uno was first unveiled at the Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show in 2008 and was also awarded a Top 10 Prize on Popular Science’s list of 2008 Invention Awards.

Oxygen-Powered Motorbike

With pollution on the rise due to the increase in the number of vehicles, it has become a necessity that a step is taken towards promoting green energy. Engineering students from Palwal city in Harayana have made a giant leap in this direction. They have invented an oxygen-powered motorbike giving Indians a glimmer of hope of having clean air to breathe. This concept is a first of its kind and if it proves popular and successful, then it is just a matter of time before we find more of eco-friendly vehicles hitting the road.

Pratham Pal an engineering student and one of the developer stated:

This bike is different from others because the engine doesn’t burn fuel, nor does the temperature rise. The air is compressed and transferred to the engine without any combustion. The piston reciprocates from the air pressure leading to an up-down movement, making the flywheel run and the bike move.

The bike is designed to run at a speed of six to twelve miles an hour utilizing 100 liters of PSI oxygen. The design has still scope for improvement and the students are looking for financial support to improvise their invention. Eco-friendly vehicles are a must in India, the decrease in the use of non-renewable fuels will make the atmosphere cleaner and the health of people will improve.
