Motorbike

The  is used for quicker movement on the surface of a planet. The bike is good for the first few days, but a hover vessel is a far superior replacement for it. It is nice to have it on hand though should the vessel you using is disabled.

It also is prone to notorious bugs which have persisted throughout the Alpha versions of the game. Some of these include:
 * catapulting a player into orbit
 * getting stuck inside terrain
 * clipping through terrain
 * having the player model appear in odd positions while sitting

It is not recommended to use it to scale mountains or similar terrain, as this increases the risk of a bug occurring.
