Does the Mini bike has a speed boost? (like the bike where it goes faster if you press the run button)

i can swear the bike sometimes goes a lil bit faster when i push shift button lol

All vehicles have a speed boost that makes them faster but consumes more fuel if you hold the run button, in the case of the bicycle stamina.

There are vehicle modifications in game, a turbocharger, larger fuel tank, and a fuel saver. Also a light to increase the lighting of vehicles. I think the minibike only has 3 slots so not all four items can be used.

The turbocharger increases vehicle speed without using the shift button, but we all use it anyway.

Made the minibike and I hate it, it feels like an electric scooter, but I guess that's what it is, I prefer bicycle over it until I have limitless oil to always keep it in booster. Otherwise bicycle may be better overall due to having the same speed but using stamina.

Minibike speed allegedly goes from 7 to 10 speed when shift, bicycle goes from 5 to 10 speed, so minibike is very slow. It's worth it if you have tons of oil but with chem station being so late, it's not great.

I got the chemical station from a vendor for finishing tier 3 missions so now i have unlimited gas cause im a lil close to the desert.

Bicycle is ok but pretty slow without using stamina to boost and can be bad when you have a injured leg.

Minibike is fine, its basically the bycicle without the need to use stamina, so ok in my book.

My favorite vehicle overall will always be the motorbike.
With the fuel saver mod and the speed booster its super fast and economical, its easy to steer and even distant POI can be reached in a few minutes.

The 4x4 is the worst in my opinion, takes ungodly amounts of ressources to craft, steers like a drunken walrus on a ice lake and drinks fuel like no tommorow. Also slow as hell, even with mods. Hate that thing. Only thing going for it its nice if you immigrate to an new region/base because of the giant storage room. Apart from that, bah.

The Gyrocopter is more of a novelty i feel, it can be useful to just go to your location "as the bird flies" and be save from everything but it uses a lot of fuel and the controls are very clunky.

I love the Gyrocopter..if you know how to fly it (which isn't that hard to learn), nothing is faster for traveling great distances.

Here is a good video showing how to fly it and a trick to save fuel.

careful using terms like that if the devs think that there is a way to get an infinite resource they will alter it to make it impossible to obtain without heavy investment. Unless they can find a way to tie it to the trader.

Well, I think they still drop as loot. And after a certain trader stage I am fairly certain it can be purchased. Having points spec'd in grease monkey and magazine points would probably help.

sorry about your pinky.
