Skyhopper

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

A skyhopper was any airspeeder designed to operate within a planet's atmosphere. Skyhoppers were commonly used as pleasure or utility craft, and were often piloted as racers by bush-pilots in the Outer Rim Territories.

Incom Corporation's T-16 skyhopper was perhaps the most famous model. Luke Skywalker owned one during his youth on Tatooine, and Owen Lars was known to have kept an earlier model at his father's homestead during the era of the Clone Wars.
