It looks like the modern bicycle is receiving a digital facelift with the Tron-inspired Pulse Urban Bike concept.

Here in the Pacific Northwest there are two things we don’t lack for: excellent food, and an assortment of eco-conscious residents who prefer to travel on two wheels rather than four. And while there is a whole industry out there for kitting-out your beloved bike, none that we have seen look as cool as this Tron-like design bike concept.

Created by San Francisco-based industrial designer, illustrator, and 3D modeler Dana Krieger, the Pulse Urban Bike Concept features heavy electroluminescent lighting throughout the frame, as well as internal LED turn signals built into the bike’s handlebars. A red brake light features on the rear of the bike’s seat shaft, which no doubt would aid with night time riding and rainy days with poor visibility.

Still, while it remains a concept, we can’t help but feel a design of this caliber shouldn’t remain so for long, however; we can’t offer any real speculation as to price or availability, but we would definitely like to see this particular concept of Krieger’s make it to production in the very near future.

  2. Nathan Clarke at 6:54am 5th January 2012 I'll buy it if it streams a solid ribbon of light out the back for me to run infront of cars ;-)

  5. Bernd Currie at 5:30am 5th January 2012 I like it.
  6. jesterking at 1:09pm 4th January 2012 Is this the same bike used in that commercial? I forget what the commercial was for though...
    1. Amir Iliaifar at 1:22pm 4th January 2012 I know exactly the one you are thinking of...I believe it's for Blackberry, but I'm not sure if this bike is the one they used.
      1. jesterking at 1:49pm 4th January 2012 Come to think of it, probably not... I remember the whole bike (including wheels) light up.
