A 24 year old Vietnamese Batman enthusiast has built his own version of the Batbike, using parts from a small Suzuki motorcycle and from a car. The ingenious bike features novel steering and suspension designs, as well as a fake weapons system, and can be ridden at speeds of up to 90km/h. The vehicle cannot legally be ridden in Vietnam however, as modified motorcycles are not allowed under the country’s road rules. The vehicle cost just US$450 to construct and the man intends to put it on display as an exam
