Did you like the bike featured in Tokunations' Tyranno Ranger gallery? Well to round out our celebration for the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers we're bringing you a triple dose of bikes with this special gallery featuring the T-Rex, Triceratops, and Mammoth Battle Bikes!
Known as Road Saurers in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, the MMPR Battle Bikes are fun little vehicles which included full decal sheets and simplistic 4" ranger figures to drive them. While the figures themselves are nothing compared to today's standard, S.H. Figuarts, the bikes themselves actually scale pretty well with SHF's. The original Zyuranger releases of these vehicles, like many vehicles from early Hesei Sentai, tend to be hard to find and pricey. These US release are a great and pretty inexpensive alternative!

As far as I can recall, the bikes were never used in MMPR, were they?
We got the Shark Cycles in Season 3, but never these.

They were seen very briefly in episode 31, Calamity Kimberly. And that's only because there was no way for them to be edited out of the couple reaction shots they're seen in behind the rangers.
For whatever reason they were never really seen or mentioned again. The Thunder Bikes were likewise forgotten entirely and only when the Shark Cycles came around did the rangers really use any sort of vehicle transports. The communicators made most of those kinds of things obsolete. The Road Saurers were used quite a bit more in Zyuranger.

"Power Rangers! Kimberly is in trouble! Rather than use the teleportation, which is instantaneous and incredibly accurate, take the Battle Bikes instead!"
Even as a kid I was like "Huh?"

Was MMPR one of the few low budget kids shows from the 80-90s that used teleportation intelligently? As in "Zordon has them drive motorcycles to the action for 25 episodes before he starts teleporting them?"

I actually kind of wondered why they even needed the Shark Cycles in S3 since they still had teleportation
Anyway, these toys look nice. I'm not a fan of shafting 2 of the rangers and only giving them sidecars, though.

Even in Zyuranger Boi must have been the closest thing to a girl to get the shaft like Mei

I remember having the black rangers cycle as a kid. It might have been my first power ranger toy
