'''Bikes''' are fast-moving ground vehicles capable of carrying up to one rider and usually mounting a light weapon. Bikes are used by the [[Imperium]]s, [[Chaos Space Marine]]s, [[Eldar]], [[Ork]]s and [[Squat]]s, among others, often for reconnaissance and rapid support roles. Other species, such as the [[Kroot]], [[Exodite]] Eldar, and [[Feral Orks]], do not possess the technology needed for such vehicles, and usually employ living animals as mounts instead.{{Cite This}}
