Photon Bikes

Photon Bikes are the Go-To method of intraplanetary transportation in most major planet systems.

Technology
The Photon Bike was originally Developed by the VC in 3341 by a team of scientists tasked with inventing a new price and resource efficient way of transporting a single (Two people on some bikes) person. In cooperation with the Evolution Cortex program, they managed to convert Photon energy to what would in the end become a kinetic energetically efficient thruster.

Travelling 20km with a Normal non-sport photon bike costs the consumer around 0.004vX (roughly 40 cents).

RBHI and other faction's catchup
Because the RBHI at that time was also looking for economically efficient means of transportation, the company was naturally interested in recreating the VC tech for their own use. After nine months of analysing VC Photon bikes, they managed to come up with an almost equally efficient prototype. After the RBHI, other smaller factions and planet governments successfully recreated the tech for their own, sparking a tech race between the factions, making future bikes more efficient and in general more convenient.
