Remember those bikes on Endor from Return of the Jedi and how cool they were? Didn’t we all want to ride one of those as a kid? Well now, the fine folks at Vintage Works decided to make fantasy reality.
The bike doesn’t fly, which is a major shame, but it looks so cool and accurate compared to the movie that no one would want it to fly, because any chance of breaking the bike is too big of a risk to take. The handlebars on the bike not only control the speed, but also the flaps on the front too. And, as if this wasn’t already cool enough, Vintage Works also added a sound system complete with all of the sound effects from the movie to make the experience total.

Unfortunately, only one of these replicas will be built, but its mere existence should be enough to brighten anyone’s day.
