	The hoverbike is the cheapest form of air travel and a classic favourite. It's cheap, convenient, fast and has a breakneck turning speed. Unfortunately, it also blows up very easily if hit too hard, but it is able to dodge incoming fire easily because of its small size and agility. It has a dedicated slot for a small [[Cyberweb]] [[Light Weapons Control (Apocalypse)\|weapon control module]]. Two agents can ride the bike, but it's more efficient when utilised as an unmanned combat vehicle rather than as a light transport to and from combat sites.

	Hoverbikes are best utilized in fleets for most of the game. They have great firepower for their cost, and their great agility lets them easily catch and overwhelm lesser UFOs. Late game they lose much of their viability, as tougher UFOs gain armor nearly impervious to conventional weapons, in addition to efficient swarm killing technology. (i.e. the [[Disruptor Multi-Bomb Launcher (Apocalypse)\|Multibomb Launcher]])		Hoverbikes are best utilized in fleets for most of the game.
