This particular sidecar may be the most badass of them all however, as it's actually equipped with a three-foot long extendable lightsaber. These motorcycle sidecars come equipped with the same 749-cc OHV two-cylinder air-cooled boxer engines that are commonplace in the entire Ural lineup. These specs allow the vehicle to offer 41 horsepower and 42 pounds-feet of torque, and attain a top speed in the region of 113 km/h. The vehicle is equipped with four-speed forward and single-speed reverse transmission for greater maneuverability. The Dark Force Ural may look bleak and badass, but it's ultimately a vehicle designed for pleasurable and unintimidating riding for riders of all levels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Star Wars-themed Sidecars:** Opportunities for further partnerships with movie franchises and pop culture icons to create unique motorcycle experiences. - **Badass Motorcycle Accessories:** Opportunities to capitalize on consumers' desire for attention-seeking, personalized motorcycle accessories and upgrades. - **Retro Vehicle Design:** Opportunities for businesses to incorporate vintage-inspired design into modern vehicles to appeal to consumers' nostalgia and appreciation for classic styles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Opportunities to expand motorcycle offerings through partnerships with pop culture franchises and personalized accessories. - **Movie and Entertainment Industries:** Opportunities to expand merchandise offerings through partnerships with motorcycle manufacturers and other industries. - **Personalized Vehicle Accessories:** Opportunities to capitalize on consumers' desire for unique, personalized vehicle accessories and upgrades. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [40s-Inspired Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-sahara.md) - [Leather-Adorned Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdaviel-nera.md) - [Darkly Demure Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maeving-rm1s-blackout.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md) - [168 HP Cruiser Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati.md) - [High-Tech 200 HP Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperfighter.md) - [Futuristic Sci-Fi Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-x30.md) - [Electric Adventurer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-adventure-motorcycle.md)
