"What's the last thing to go through an Imperial scout trooper's head when he hits a tree? His afterburner."
—Joke told by Rebel forces on Endor

The 74-Z speeder bike, sometimes referred to as the Imperial speeder bike due to its use by scout stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire, was a speeder bike manufactured by Aratech Repulsor Company used for reconnaissance purposes, as well as rapid transportation in combat zones.

Characteristics[]

They were capable of reaching speeds up to and beyond five hundred kilometers per hour, and had a flight ceiling of twenty-five meters. The speed and altitude was controlled by foot pedals. The highly maneuverable vehicles were equipped with sensor and communications devices located between the handlebars, including a comlink and a comlink-jamming device. They were armed with a forward rotating blaster cannon for combat.

They were also equipped with a very powerful boost that could propel them over vast distances in a shorter amount of time.

Behind the scenes[]

In the video game Star Wars: Republic Commando, a 74-Z is visible in one of Prosecutor's Docking Bays. It was referred to as "a death trap".
