Batgirl eventually took it without Batman's permission to pursue the villain, but the Batcycle was destroyed after Gearhead infected it's computerized system with a nanotech virus. Thus, he needed another transportation and used the Batcycle but left it on autopilot while battling Gearhead. Batman finished constructing it but when Gearhead was on the loose again the Batmobile's power core was not properly charged.

The first time the Batcycle was glimpsed in the cartoon was when Catwoman stole Batman's utility belt and unwittingly pressed the button activating the Batcycle's autopilot in the Batcave.
