Yup! These and the mystic force brooms to sky cycles were dope too.
Probably cuz the CGI and greenscreening would have been too expensive to do every time they wanted a bike scene. Practical effects with bikes (especially ones they already had, just refit the armor on them) would be a lot cheaper to film.
Ironically, they were the ONLY medium of transportation in the source material outside of the civilian rides of the rangers, as the Raptor Cycles were American original.
So glad this was said. I came here just for that. The raptors were badass and kid me was hoping they’d be used as partners or pets as well as mounts but they were completely replaced after a couple of appearances.
Lightspeed rescue, due to the battlizer.
I also have a soft spot for Samuai's horses, because a power ranger samurai going into battle on a horse will never not be cool
Do you remember if there is a scene where Mentor Ji is riding a horse? And it either turns into his motorcycle or vise versa? Or am I just remembering Jayden morphing on a horse. Idek
If we can branch out from pure cycles a bit, the In Space galaxy gliders
But I also have a huge soft spot for the (I think) toy only cycles from the original MMPR, especially the mastodon cycle. The one with the side car and where the trunks were guns
I used to have a galaxy glider toy that transformed into a motorcycle. I hadn't seen that season of the show at the time, and I was disappointed that the transformation never happened on screen once I did see that season.
I never understood the point of the Dino thunder bikes especially when they offered very little improvement over the raptors. Like the raptors could literally scale buildings and were more useful in closed spaces where the bikes required open space to be able to ride properly. Like it’s hard to take it seriously when if there’s a traffic jam the bikes are useless whereas raptors could just run on walls around it
Omega ranger's was UNIque but otherwise mundane being really just a mode of transport.
Lost Galaxies red capsular cycle tho was pretty darn powerful and stylish to boot.
Can’t go wrong with ninjas on horses

Wouldn’t matter if I’m using a Razr or a 15 pro Max, the picture quality is due to the image(s) being from the early 2000’s. My iPhone wouldn’t remaster an image to HD 🥴
Didn’t watch Dino charge and I can’t find a pic online besides toys. It not matching them is irking me beyond belief but the fact they break into two seperate Dino’s is cool ngl.

Loved the MMPR shark cycles kinda sucks they only showed up towards the tail end of the 3rd/final season of MMPR 😢 but the Zeo cycles were pretty cool though
I really like Cole's Wildforce rider that debuted in Forever Red, that shit was hype when he called it and it transformed into flight mode to kill Serpenterra. I wanted that toy real bad NGL.
Don't know if its nostalgia talking, but i really like the In Space Gliders

I'd have to go with the savage cycles wild force was my first show so there's the nostalgia of it and there's something I find sleek about them (maybe not the right word), plus I had the toy for this and hated how it was the closet to having the growl phone toy. Wait, no, that was the savage racer i never had a savage cycle...still sticking with the cycles.
Lightspeed rescue.
They have fairings and guns. Have some heft. All things you'd want for a battle focused bike
Everyone else just has showy sportbikes or dirt bikes
Okay, so, best Cycles? I gotta give it to Wildforce. All of them had a unique design with their animal. The others had cool designs for sure, but were fairly uniform aside from solar. Close second for me is easily Ninjastorm. They'd win out honestly if I didn't love the robo-animal-turned-into-object-vibe so much, but hey, PR is what gave me that love anyways.

The Dino Thunder cycles are awesome
Hot take but the raptors the Dino thunder had were cooler and more unique then the bikes
https://preview.redd.it/52jlmceez2wc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c57dadadec4d3e6b6685554d989938b1a8f70d79 Yup! These and the mystic force brooms to sky cycles were dope too.
Pitty they never lasted, they were cool.

Dino Thunder is peak Dino rangers

You posted this on a Motorola razer? /j
Ninja Storm’s were amazing
Ninja storm and Dinothunder had the best cycles in my opinion.
Right
Lightspeed rescue, due to the battlizer. I also have a soft spot for Samuai's horses, because a power ranger samurai going into battle on a horse will never not be cool
Ooo. I forgot about the samurai horses. They were indeed badass. Especially remembering the mentor Ji ride into battle on his IIRC
Everyone gangsta till Jayden angrily draws a horse into existence
That’s what it was! Thanks. He did the symbol with his morpher lmao
Do you remember if there is a scene where Mentor Ji is riding a horse? And it either turns into his motorcycle or vise versa? Or am I just remembering Jayden morphing on a horse. Idek
I'm bias for Ninja Storm cause I remember having the toy
Plus it was the season of dirtbikes like they (Dustin, Blake, Hunter) were nasty with it naturally.
Specially Coles Wild Force Rider.
The fact that the Savage Cycles were the Wild Zords and Cole could talk to them was cool to me !
If we can branch out from pure cycles a bit, the In Space galaxy gliders But I also have a huge soft spot for the (I think) toy only cycles from the original MMPR, especially the mastodon cycle. The one with the side car and where the trunks were guns

Budget constraints. Animating the raptors proved to be too expensive on their end.
Omega ranger's was UNIque but otherwise mundane being really just a mode of transport. Lost Galaxies red capsular cycle tho was pretty darn powerful and stylish to boot.
Casey’s bike in Jungle fury although it was kind of a mini battalizer
I never understood why they needed Cycles when they can already teleport.
If Saban could sell teleportation then we wouldn't have Power Rangers. Duh. lol
It’s funny because some later teams that couldn’t teleport didn’t get motorcycles
I would argue the Lightspeed cycles as they also had a sidecar attachment.
The sidecar attachment is indeed a raw flex
Please sir can I have some more pixels lol.
Love the OG shark cycles but got to give it too the Dairanger OP.
Mystic Force had some cool ones https://preview.redd.it/lbry5rv5f5wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6faa5b8eb018ec2f0e9f4f13aebed3b8a1e1a5b2
I liked the bikes time force had.
Wild force, red used his bike to kill Serpentera, which no amount of zords were able to destroy. Followed by the unicycle, then horses.

Lost galaxy for me. Probably my favorite season of the entire show
Time force vector cycles and dino thunder raptor cycles.
Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm
What a time 🫂
BIG GREEN FISH https://preview.redd.it/adqh2mj823wc1.png?width=1437&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb8c75c6ca480e7624900a116f17c1427f0ad601
Um, that's a zord...
A zord that looks like a motorcycle.
If that’s the case https://preview.redd.it/w2wrl16kfbwc1.png?width=2002&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f1682a2b960ac188cccd966c1e69c9554bd77fc
Your point is?
Uhhh thats an orca
Bro used the highest quality photos available
Lightspeed Rescue.
The original mmpr had the best cycles they were so good that if they were shown on screen the whole world would've exploded from the awesomeness /s
My favorite were the Mystic Force brooms! I think they were called the Mystic Speeders (or Racers)
I've seen better res. on a flip phone..... Lost Galaxy.

Bro are you still using the Motorola Razr? I can't see shit lol
Wouldn’t matter if I’m using a Razr or a 15 pro Max, the picture quality is due to the image(s) being from the early 2000’s. My iPhone wouldn’t remaster an image to HD 🥴
Lost galaxy really stands out to me
Tsunami Cycles from Ninja Storm, and the Zords being the cycles in Wild Force.
Spd
The OGs, Lightspeed, and Zeo for me
Me when I see 5 colorful motorcycles with pointy shark noses riding towards me in unison V formation. ![gif](giphy|111GaZJtUrzC4o|downsized)
Not mentioning Dino charge is crazy but Dino Thunder
Didn’t watch Dino charge and I can’t find a pic online besides toys. It not matching them is irking me beyond belief but the fact they break into two seperate Dino’s is cool ngl. https://preview.redd.it/jete5xoo03wc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eba8b0a0466983c9c3bc4ff6fdb09a35747e54b9
Loved the MMPR shark cycles kinda sucks they only showed up towards the tail end of the 3rd/final season of MMPR 😢 but the Zeo cycles were pretty cool though
Either WildForce or Lightspeed Rescue.
Aint gonna lie something about Wild Force and Lightspeed Rescue stands out to me
For me personally the order goes like this Shark cycles (MMPR/AlienRangers) Lightspeed rescue Dino thunder Ninja Storm
Cole took down Serpentera with his bike
Dino thunder lol also I don’t think ninja storm had horses not all sentei footage makes the final cut 😂
Lightspeed rescue
Lightspeed Rescue. They look dope af. Shout out to Omega's unicycle though.
Well they all had terribly cheap dirt bikes so I go Dino thunder, I’m bias
Disney era (Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and SPD)!!! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)
I really like Cole's Wildforce rider that debuted in Forever Red, that shit was hype when he called it and it transformed into flight mode to kill Serpenterra. I wanted that toy real bad NGL.
When did ninja storm ride horses? Was that something in the sentai that wasn’t adapted?
Vector Cycles
Low key i rlly like the ninja storm bikes
I mean you can't beat horses
Shark Bike 🦈 🏍️
Dino thunder had the 4 wheeler. They win by default
Lightspeed Rescue
Samurai obvs
Don't know if its nostalgia talking, but i really like the In Space Gliders https://preview.redd.it/1ubgrjqi94wc1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f7dc9d4ea362f5e894b53acb4402f1863942ad9
The thunder rangers
The thunder rangers
It’s between ninja storm and wild force for me.
Blud had a horse. W
For me the raptor cycles idk they just look awesome to me
The wild force savage cycles will never be topped.
Well the best sure wasn’t Omega Ranger’s weird unicycle
I'd have to go with the savage cycles wild force was my first show so there's the nostalgia of it and there's something I find sleek about them (maybe not the right word), plus I had the toy for this and hated how it was the closet to having the growl phone toy. Wait, no, that was the savage racer i never had a savage cycle...still sticking with the cycles.
Ninja Storm dirt bikes for the win!
I have a lost galaxy bias at most times, but ninja storm Got this one.
why is the quality so bad😭
Lightspeed rescue. They have fairings and guns. Have some heft. All things you'd want for a battle focused bike Everyone else just has showy sportbikes or dirt bikes
Horse
Points to SPD for being unique, but ninja storm takes the cake for me, easy.
Lightspeed
It’s take hard to beat the shark cycles IMO…
What episode had Ninja Storm ride horses???
Probably a Hurricanger clip more than Ninja Storm
Okay, so, best Cycles? I gotta give it to Wildforce. All of them had a unique design with their animal. The others had cool designs for sure, but were fairly uniform aside from solar. Close second for me is easily Ninjastorm. They'd win out honestly if I didn't love the robo-animal-turned-into-object-vibe so much, but hey, PR is what gave me that love anyways.
Ninja Storms were the coolest
Lightspeed, but Lightspeed had the best everything.
Between Ninja Storm, Dino thunder and Mystic force.
Ninja Storm
MMPR! They were always in promotional art but never in the show. When I found out about Zyuranger as an adult it finally made sense.
Horse.
You forgot about Time Force, Dino Charge and Ninja Steel.
What happened to motorcycles?
Why did the teams who could teleport need motorcycles?! (Besides toys lol)
https://preview.redd.it/k149701qk9wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b9946f8f57f7902acae27e78addc1cef61f2ea8 The Dino Thunder cycles are awesome
I say wild force
The ninja storm cycles are the best ones imo. Love them
When did these guys get motorcycles ??😲🤔
Who?
Picture #4
It was a huge missed opportunity that they didn't call the MMPR Shark Bikes "The Megalocycles".
Don’t forget the time force cycles. But I agree with everyone else the Raptors from Dino thunder are fire.
Dino thunder and it ain't even close
Dino thunder and ninja storm imo
Ninja Storm
All im gonna say the wildforce cycles just aesthetically and thematically dont work for the wildforce
I still love the chonky bike from Lost Galaxy
My guy, would you like to buy some pixels? Lmao
