The unusual Hoverbike with 'side car' is used for military purposes or for the personal pleasure of wayward youth who enjoy speed and altitude. Its good power to weight ratio means that this is the most maneuverable air vehicle but it can only carry light armaments. The Hoverbike can be a valuable means of transport for the Agent on investigative missions where speed of response is essential.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

A small, fast, and light duty combat vehicle for swarming a UFO. Cautious Attitude is best if wanting to preserve the bike since armour and constitution are low. This craft is typical used for attack and not for agent mission transport.
The armament can be upgraded to the best standard weapon, the Lineage Plasma Cannon, but the vunerability of the bike to missile attack may end up being an epensive error. The Light Weapons Control module is designed for this chassis.
