Steed Bike
Movement
Described in: Core book
Marbles filled with nanomachines thrown at an open area, flat discs slid on the ground
Slots requirements
30 GP
By powering the module and throwing it to the ground, the Knight unfolds an Avalon steed model combat motorbike (see Vehicles, on page 447). The motorbike’s price is included in the module’s GP cost. It takes fewer than 6 seconds to completely materialise. The Knight can fold the bike again by giving their AI a simple command. This takes fewer than 6 seconds, and can be done up to half a mile away.
Warning: if the motorbike is destroyed, so is the module. Its slot is freed, and a new one may be purchased for its full cost.

Description
Steed model motorbikes are Avalon’s most common personnel vehicles, particularly among the ranks of Gryphon division. Their appearance is that of a powerful, manoeuvrable, sleek bike with a wide handlebar shielded by an aerodynamic beak. The tires, mounted on two thick, computerised suspension wheels, are solid, not pneumatic. Their self-repairing cells are designed to withstand extreme acceleration and braking at high speeds. Most steed owners have custom paint jobs performed on their bikes, using bright colours to show their fondness for speed and danger.
One thing to note is that, unlike other vehicles, steeds can be purchased as modules from the arsenal. Their high-tech design allows them to fold like a meta-armour, and deploy from small disks slid on the ground (or can be created from scratch via one of the Priest meta-armour’s upgrades).

The rule about Paladin armours taking up two spaces rather than one is not a consequence of its “Slow and heavy” disadvantage, appearing in the general rules on vehicles. Paladins can never use Steed bikes.

No, modules do not grow in size along with the metaarmour, and a Barbarian in Goliath mode is too big for that vehicle.
