An Imperial 614-AvA speeder bike
Speeder bikes, also known as jumpspeeders, were open-air repulsorlift vehicles that emphasized speed and maneuverability over stability. The Jedi used the Undicur-class jumpspeeder, which proved popular with civilians. Another civilian speeder bike was the Joben T-85 speeder bike, used by the Jedi Kanan Jarrus.
The Clone Wars saw the development of the CK-6 swoop bikes for use in cold climates, as well as combat speeders designed for the Separatist General Grievous.
The Imperial speeder bike lineage can be traced to the BARC speeders used during the Clone Wars. Imperial forces used the 614-AvA speeder bike until it was phased out by the 74-Z.
Speeder bikes were sometimes a target for theft. Merei Spanjaf, a teenage girl living on Lothal, owned a jumpspeeder that could fit into a speeder van. She normally wore a helmet and goggles when riding it.[1]
