Dark Rider

The Dark Rider, also known as the Bike is Shadow the Hedgehog's personal motorcycle from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Shadow the Hedgehog
The Dark Rider first appears in Shadow the Hedgehog as an unnamed vehicle. It is shown in the game's intro, where he uses it to smash into a Black Arms soldier, blowing it up in the process. It can be found and ridden in Lethal Highway.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
The Dark Rider reappears in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), where it can be used in Radical Train and Aquatic Base. It also appears in Shadow's seventh Town Mission, "Motorcycle License Test". It has been completely redesigned, is now armed with machine guns, and its speed can be increased using an ability called the Boost Dash. Unlike in Shadow the Hedgehog, the Dark Rider is needed on certain missions to advance as it allows Shadow to travel faster.

In gameplay, the Dark Rider is harder to steer. While it is faster than the Buggy and can jump higher from Ramps, the Dark Rider has weaker armor. Additionally, should the rounds for its machine guns empty, it will reload in seconds. If the Dark Rider rams at into a wall at full speed, it will overturn and cannot be flipped back unless the player gets jumps off of it and back on again. When its Health Gauge is critical its engine starts to smoke, and when it empties, the vehicle will explode (without harming the player). To board or dismount the Dark Rider, the player can press the "Y" or triangle button. Pressing the "X" or square button makes it reverse or brake, pressing the "A" or "X" button twice triggers a Boost Dash, and the "RT" or "R2" button fires its machine gun.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
In Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, the Dark Rider appears as Shadow's vehicle. Its appearance is identical to that in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), but it lacks its machine guns. Instead of the GUN insignia, it has the Black Arms insignia on its fuel tank. It has the following statistics:

Other game appearances
In Shadow the Hedgehog Flash, the Dark Rider appears as an unnamed vehicle. It is ridden by Shadow in the entirety of Westopolis Act 2.
