This Batcycle isn’t the Batmobile, but it sure comes close

It’s the motorcycle we both need *and* deserve.

Admit it—you’re slightly bitter that a world that’s given us multiple working hoverboards has yet to come up with a worthy consumer-ready Batmobile. We get it.

But this custom-built Batcycle, co-manufactured by Polish auto and bike maker Game Over Cycles, might make you feel a little better about the state of pseudo-fantasy vehicles.

The bike, which is more technically a trike, is nearly 15 feet long (roughly the size of a Toyota Corolla). Here’s a closer look at some of the detail work:

How much would you love to be behind the wheel of this thing? We imagine it’d be like riding a sweetly purring stegosaurus. Couldn’t you just see the Batbike facing off against Bumblebee? (This would probably be the only thing that could get us back in the theater for another Transformers movie, just saying.) 

Sadly there’s no word on whether Hollywood has tagged these guys to work on the next summer blockbuster, but we hope that if that Batfleck comment was only a joke, Vin Diesel will at least sit up and take notice.

The Bat and the Furious. Make it happen, guys.
