Quote:Actually, this is an odd coincidence, given my mental image of gooped and modded Vespas being used as worker-bee type craft around space-stations.
Now, a dirt bike might be an easier platform; they already have engines to help supply extra power. But I'm sure an enterprising kid could figure out some way. Some bikes do generate a little power for lights and such through pedaling. A bit of handwavium to enhance that, a bit of kitbashing here and there...a walkie-talkie to provide communications. No problem.
This mostly came from a consideration and realization that, yes, there are Fen out there who've based their personal fighting styles around handwaviumed Gibson Flying Vs and Gibson EB-0s, and who attack one-another with regularity, fighting a Highlanderesque conflict (only without the death) for the title of 'Atomsk'. What ties they have to the established Space Pirates, I leave up to the SSX wranglers.
