* The ''Star Wars: Battlefront '' games generally have Speeder Bikes as a means for going from "Point A" to harassing an enemy command post in a matter of seconds. But with this being a vehicle that leaves the operator exposed, it's essentially an [[Fragile Speedster]] that can be commandeered by killing the person riding it.

*''Mario Kart 8'' introduces the concept of anti-gravity, with the vehicles' tires being reconfigured so that they can float above the ground (and walls). And it's worth mentioning that motorcycles makes an return in this installment.

* Wes from ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'' has a hoverbike monstrosity. It even has a side car that his Espeon and Umbreon ride in.

* The Hoverbikes in ''[[X-COM (Video Game)|X-COM]]: Apocalypse''; since they can be armed and are very agile, [[Zerg Rush]]ing massive [[Flying Saucer]]s with Hoverbike swarm works fairly well. The downside is that since a bike can take only a small weapon and a basic targeting system, crippling or killing large targets takes many shots, so the battle tend to protract — and cause more damage to the city, since that's what missing shots from whoever is at the greater altitude usually do.
