Flying the "Piranha" Hover Bike.
Touch the craft or right-click the pilot seat and select "pilot". Once you're seated, wait a second or two while you listen to the powerful anti-grav engines kick in as you hover gently. Now, you can move by using the forward/backward arrow keys to adjust the speed, use the left/right turn arrow keys to steer, and use the PgUp and PgDn keys to climb and descend. Once you're moving, you'll see the thrust jet streaming from the rear as you fly. You can continue to fire the thrusters and move forward as long as you keep your finger on the forward arrow and you can even steer as you accelerate.

Hold the Ctrl key down as you use the left/right arrow keys to perform a sideways "crabbing" strafe movement. You can carry out some cool sideways-sliding moves once you've got the hang of it. You can also do an amazing "drift" when speeding across the surface.

Adjustable pilot seat
You can adjust the position of the pilot pose for whatever size avatar you use. Once you are seated, type "/1 menu" and an adjustment menu will appear, with buttons for nudging the pose up/down and forwards/backwards. Once it's adjusted for your avi, the hover bike will remember your settings the next time you get on. It will remember the positions for up to 32 different avatars and it automatically applys them whenever they use it.

Passenger Seat
The rear seat can accommodate a passenger. They can also adjust their position.

Landing.
You can use the PageDown key to descend. Take it easy or you'll hit the floor and bounce back up. Once you have landed simply stand up and you'll hear the anti-grav engine cut out automatically. When parked, the vehicle will normally place itself into a slight hovering position.

Parking.
If you stand up while you’re still flying, the Hover Bike will turn off any forward motion and lock its vertical and geostationary position. So, you can park next to a high landing platform or the top of a docking column by hopping out of your pilot's seat when you're in position. It's then safe leave the vehicle.

Security.
The vehicle is DNA-locked, a security feature that allows only the owner to fly it. You won't have any worries of someone else jumping on and flying off with it after you've parked it.

Public Version Included.
We've included a public version that permits non-owners to operate this vehicle. Your personal version has blue front lights but the public version has red ones. It behaves exactly like your personal one except anyone is permitted to fly it. The public version is set to de-rez when the pilot gets off. This is important because if you allow non-owners to operate your vehicles, they won't be able to move or delete the vehicle if it gets stuck.

These vehicles are all scaled perfectly for use with the Exosphere Modules such as the Landing Terminal, the Landing Dome and the Vehicle Bay.
