Star Wars Speeder Bike by Hasbro

Speeder bikes, also known as hover bikes, are open-air repulsorlift vehicles and can maneuver deftly over very rough terrain. The Imperial scout troopers used the 74-Z speeder bike which were capable of reaching speeds up to and beyond five hundred kilometers per hour, and had a flight ceiling of twenty-five meters.

The highly maneuverable vehicles were equipped with sensor and communications devices located between the handlebars, including a comlink and a comlink-jamming device. They were armed with a forward rotating blaster cannon for combat. They were also equipped with a very powerful boost that could propel them over vast distances in a shorter amount of time.
