Hover
Bike
This
is a very strange and rare vehicle. It has no wheels, and hovers
about a foot or so above the ground using gravitic repulsion
jets. These vehicles are extremely fast, and cannot take wheel
damage. You never need to roll on the wheel damage table for
a hover bike. The hover bike will also never detonate a land
mine. These bikes are, however, quite fragile.
