Affiliation:SteelCorp
Ownership: Grayson Creed, plus anyone else that wishes to use it.
Intent: Use for Grayson Crees. Plus, Star Wars needs more motorcycles.
Model:Q9-180 Hoverbike
Size:Comes in various sizes to accomodate different species and body types. Seat height ranges from 700m to 900mm. Length is between one metre and 1.4m. Width is 300mm to 500mm.
Weight:Average weight of 200 kilograms.
Armour: Somewhat resistant to projectile weapons. Blaster weapons can damage a hoverbike easily.
Propulsion: Hoverbikes are powered by a fusion generator and propelled by repulsorlift generators.
Armament/Equipment:Hidden storage compartment that can be accessed on right side of the hoverbike. Big enough to house a helmet, small blaster, and a small purse. Compartment is opened and closed via a button on the main control panel.
Description: The Q9-180 Hoverbike is built for civillian use, and is primarily used as a luxury vehicle. It is built out of an ultra-lightweight dursteel alloy. Hoverbikes are durable to a point. They will hold up against rough weather and minor collisions, but will be easily destroyed in combat situations.
The Q9-180 Hoverbike is known mostly for its speed and agility. Hoverbikes contain five repulsorlift generators, one on the bottom of the hoverbike, two in the front, and two in the back. The generator on the bottom is in the middle of the craft, keeping it balanced, and propels the hoverbike upwards. The rear-most generator propels the hoverbike forward at a high velocity. The front-most generator is primarily used as a braking method, allowing for rapid decceleration. Reverse is not needed because the hoverbike is capable of hovering and rotating on the spot. The two other generators are located where the wheel would be on a motorcycle, and these generators can propel the hoverbike side-to-side. The repulsorlift generators are powered by a fusion power generator that is located near the front of the hoverbike.
The Q9-180's lightweight design and numerous repulsorlift generators give the hoverbike unrivalled speed and agility. It is capable of reaching a max speed of 300km/h, and can acclerate to the speed of 100km/h in almost five seconds. After reaching this speed the acceleration rate is cut in half. Of course it takes fast reflexes to pilot the hoverbike at such high speeds. The hoverbike manages to retain a high level of maneuverability even when flying at top speed. It has a maximum altitude of 30m.
There are few safety features present on a hoverbike. In fact, a riders best chance at surviving a crash is flying at a low speed and wearing a sturdy helmet. The bike has been designed so that in case of a crash, the bike will immediately power down. This is to prevent injuries in case the rider is thrown off the hoverbike, as a runaway hoverbike can cause some damage.
Every hoverbike has a hidden storage compartment that can be accessed from the right side of the hoverbike. This is so riders have a safe place to store items while they pilot the hoverbike.
Hoverbikes are operated just like motorcycles. Hoverbikes have a throttle and brake lever, both located on the handle bars.
All hoverbikes come with a nice soft cushion, so the pilot always has a comfortable ride. Seating may be big enough to add a second person behind the driver, but it depends on the size of the person and/or the exact size of the bike.
The hoverbike had various gauges to give the pilot important information on the hoverbike's powerful engine. The hoverbike is capable of playing audio Holo-Net transmissionz through small speakers or headphones. The Holo-Net controls are located by the gauges.
Steering is accomplished by turning the handle bars and leaning. Turning the handlebars turns the sideways facing repulsorlift generators, which activates them and propels the hoverbike into a different direction. Leaning helps make the turn quicker and sharper. The sideways generators can also be controlled via the dashboard control panel.
