Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ryuki and Knight Survive are the only final forms that rode their bikes while in said final forms.

... man, that's a good point. That's a little depressing, actually.
Even Kuuga, who couldn't get off his bike for 2 seconds didn't do it in Ultimate Form. Though... Ultimate is a very unconventional final form with little screentime to begin with, which was kind of the point. Would absolutely have loved to have seen, say, Fourze Cosmic on his bike, though. Or maybe Grand Zi-O could let the Ride Striker see more than 2 minutes of use the entire series

Ah, many thanks
I do wish bikes would get a lot of screentime even if they aren't used for action scenes. Just scenes of Riders arriving through the scene with their bikes. Double and Build did it best.

Yeah, I mean for Zero-One it could have been a running gag where Aruto rides his bike to where the action is and Izu runs at the same pace like it is nothing and Aruto would be all dumbfounded every time thinking, "Amazing how she does this.".

I am surprised for the first Rider of Reiwa Zero-One pretty much treated his bike as nonexistent. I thought that ever since Fourze the bikes have been dual sport is so that they are easier to ride and do stunts should they require it. Although when you think about it, Ex-Aid and Zi-O are the series that ditched their bikes the most. W - Drive still used their bikes (car in Drive's case) a lot. Ghost forgot his but at least Specter rode his bike occassionally especially thanks to Houdini Damaashii. I also feel like Zi-O should've had the Ride Striker as the control for Time Mazin so that at least it has a presence. Damn, Time Mazine's has more screentime than the bikes!

Seriously though, one thing I really loved about Drive was how the vehicle theme made the "Rider" part seem relevant again... even if the main Rider was a Driver. I mean, it still had some episodes and arcs that didn't have much vehicle action, but at least they didn't forget that the Tridoron existed, and Drive had an actual reason for never driving it in his final form! And on the other end, there's Gaim, who I'm pretty sure appeared more often on a horse than on his bike! Which is weird because his bike can be conveniently summoned from a lockseed and was the only way he could travel to and from Hellheim without finding an existing crack, so you'd think it would come in handy more often, but no. I've also noticed that as soon as a Rider without a bike joins the good guys' team, or even is just introduced, the amount of bike action tends to drop dramatically if it hasn't already. Probably because if the main Rider kept riding everywhere, the others couldn't keep up (except when there are other vehicles, like the AIMS van, then it's just unexplained). It would be funny if a show actually addressed that, with the second/third/etc. Rider being late to a fight and when asked why, they complain about not having a bike. |
