In Case You Have Not Seen The Film,

Tron is a futuristic adventure, 

where contestants ride super bikes like this one, so it was only a matter of time till one of the ultra-cool electric Light Cycles props of the first Tron film, (or the second film Tron: Legacy) became a reality,



so a Mr. Yu from Nanjing, China bought one and according to various sources he paid between $55,000 and $120,000 not including shipping and brokerage charges, the bike itself was no slouch, the motorcycle features an electric motor capable of propelling the spoke less two-wheeler at speeds of up to 120 mph (200 km/h), 


therefore it's easy to imagine Yu's shock and dismay when Nanjing's Department of Motor Vehicles refused to approve the Light Cycle, ostensibly over “safety concerns”, a less fuzzy dictum specifies motor vehicles cannot be approved for road use unless they're produced by a manufacturer legally registered in China, so I guess unless the law is changed it can only be used on private roads and racetracks, which is a bit of a shame, I mean it looks so cool.
