The Sentai Motor Club (Bikes)

Since I was covering the bikes in Power Rangers, I thought I'd cover their ancestors and history with Super Sentai history.

Green, Red, and Blue Machines (Goranger)
Motorcycles driven by the Ao, Mido and Aka Rangers. The Momo and Ki Rangers ride in the sidecars of the Blue and Green Machines. They exploded in Episode 54.

Red, Blue, and Green Stars (Goranger)
Replacements for the Red, Blue, and Green Machines. They debuted in Episode 55.


Spade Machine, Mach Dia, Heart Buggy, Auto Clover (JAKQ)
The JAKQ crew had their own vehicles.

Three Machines (Battle Fever J)
Battle Kenya, France and Cossack had these three motorcycles.

Denzi Machine (Denziman/Denjiman)
Only DenjiRed had a motorcycle in Denziman.

Sharkmachine and Panthermachine (Sun Vulcan)
The two warriors had regular motorcycles, nothing special was done to them.

Gogglemachine (Goggle Five)
Again only the red one got a bike, the Gogglered's motorcycle.

Dynafalcon (Dynaman)
Dynared's motorcycle. It is interesting how it is mostly white.

Biomachine 1 and Biomachine 2 (Bioman)
Not only Red got a motorcyle, but Yellow did too. This is the first time a female got a motorcycle, Heart Queen from JAKQ got a vehicle but it was a buggy, not a bike.

Autochangers (Changeman)
The first time all five Rangers got matching motorcyles.

Flashhawks (Flashman)
The second time they all got bikes, these look awesome. Yeah, I know I cut up my own picture from Supersentai.com and it looks sloppy but it doesn't have to be perfect, right?

Mask Loaders (Maskman)
Now the four get their own bikes at least and not a truck.

Motofalcon, Motodolphin, Motolion (Liveman)
Individual motorcycles for the original trio. I am half in love with the designs. I like the blue one.

Mach Motos (Turboranger)
The third time we get five motorcycles, the seventh time the whole team gets similar vehicles.

Hawk Arrows (Fiveman)
The fourth time we get 5 similar motorcycles.

Jet Speeders (Jetman)
Jetman was an interesting year in that only two of them got bikes and it was not Red. Blue Swallow would be the last female Blue to have a bike in Super Sentai.

Road Saurer 1, Side Saurer 2, Side Saurer 3 (Zyuranger) In Zyuranger, the Red one was called the Road Saurer 1, and the Black one was Side Saurer 2, and Blue is Side Saurer 3. Yes, I am cheating with the picture that I am using the same one from the last post. This the third series we get bikes with sidecars. This is the first time in eight years a female did not get a bike.
This picture was scanned by me.

Kiber Machines (Dairanger)
The Kiber Machines were used by the Dairanger, I saw the whole series and the Blue one was seen in a couple episodes with the other bikes and was only once used by its owner alone in one episode. The fifth time we got five bikes.

Shark Bleeder, Shark Slider, Shark Launcher (Kakuranger)
Red
was called the Shark Bleeder, Yellow is the Shark Slider, and Blue was the Shark Launcher. Ninja White in Blue's sidecar and Ninja Black in Yellow's sidecar, sort of a reverse of Tigerranger and Mammothranger of Zyuranger. This is the fourth series we get bikes with some sort of sidecar.

Jetter Machines (Ohranger)
Also known as Zeo Cycles in Power Rangers Zeo, these were the last and sixth group of individual motorcycles in Super Sentai.

Speeder Machines (Carranger)
Also known as Turbo Carts in Power Rangers Turbo, I loved these go-carts, they each had their own weapon on the front. They were the last individual group modes of transportation with wheels.

Polispeeder (Carranger)
The only actual motorcyle in the series, it belonged to Signalman, this was the first time another character other than the main five had a vehicle.

Cyber Gliders (Megaranger)
The Cyber Gliders were a wholesome alternative to bikes. They were used in Power Rangers.
This picture above and following it were scanned by Mike Bastian.

Auto Slider (Megaranger)
Look just like the Cyber Sliders. It was the first time a sixth Ranger had a vehicle.

Wolf Roader (Gaoranger)
The Wolf Roader was the second vehicle a Sixth Ranger ever had in Sentai.


Bari Thunders (Hurricanger)
The Bari Thunders belong to the Goraijer. The last time only two warriors got matching cycles was 11 years ago with Jetman.
All the pictures above were scanned by Mike Bastian.

Machine Husky (Dekaranger)
DekaBlue was the only one of the main five to get a cycle.

Machile Boxer
The third time a sixth Ranger got a cycle was interesting because it was a motorized uniccycle. It was the last cycle period in Super Sentai.
This picture is from an official site.

Chida Nick is a bike in Go-Busters

  1. Can you please update the Super Sentai Motorcycles? They have been returned in Tokumei Sentai GoBasutaa or Mission Task Force Five Busters/GoBusters.

  2. Any chance you could find out what bikes were used to make these? I know the Zyurangers' Saurers were Suzuki, but I can't figure out the model.
