If you ever wanted to pretend you lived inside of a video game, now is your chance if you happen to have $40,000 lying around.

A working remake of the iconic Light Cycle from 2010's Tron reboot is being auctioned this May in Texas.

The bike was manufactured by an outside firm and made for specifically for the Andrews car collection. The collection is getting rid of the cycle and a few other cars in an effort to spend more time enjoying fewer of their favorite vehicles, a reasoning which is arguably the least relatable rich person reasoning for anything ever.

The vehicle, which is listed in "new condition" runs on a 96 volt, direct-drive electric motor with lithium batteries and also features a computer-controlled throttle, rebound and compression damping with spring-preload front suspension and rigid rear suspension, and front and rear hydraulic brakes. So, you know -- car stuff.

Sotheby's is auctioning the bike starting anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000, noting that "it is unlikely that a similar motorcycle will ever be produced or made available for purchase, making this a truly unique opportunity."

But we're still holding out for the future, when these are standard Harleys.
