Sega Is Auctioning Off Shadow The Hedgehog's Real-Life Motorcycle For a Good Cause

Sega is auctioning off Shadow the Hedgehog's custom motorcycle, Dark Rider, to raise funds for a charity founded by French World Superbike Champion Sylvain Guintoli. The motorcycle, a collaboration between Bourget's Bike Works, Oil Sweat & Gears, and Atmospherics SFX, features Shadow's signature red-and-black color scheme and symbol but is non-functional due to a foam fuel tank.

It is expected to be auctioned on October 10-11, 2026 as part of The Autumn Stafford Sale, with proceeds benefiting the Luca Guintoli Foundation. The foundation aims to provide financial assistance, education, and practical support to children with autism and cancer in England and Wales. Sega's Senior Partnerships Manager, Aaron Kirby, and Sylvain Guintoli have shared their excitement about the auction, stating it is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Sega history while supporting a worthy cause.
