About this listen

 The source provides a comprehensive analysis explaining why major automobile manufacturers avoid building motorcycles inspired by the iconic Tron light cycle for the mass market. The primary reasons explored include significant technical challenges, such as designing the impractical hubless wheels and addressing the uncomfortable rider ergonomics necessary for the look of the bike. Furthermore, the analysis covers substantial economic barriers due to the high production costs, the specialized nature of the components, and the limited interest from the niche market of sci-fi enthusiasts. Finally, the text notes the difficulty of navigating strict regulatory hurdles and explains that manufacturing such a specialty vehicle does not align with the established brand identities and focus on practicality preferred by major corporations.
