电影



Soaring at amazing speeds on reconnaissance and patrol duties, the Imperial speeder bike is a slim, single-person repulsorlift conveyance. The lightweight bike can attain speeds in excess of 500 kilometers per hour. A quartet of small directional steering vanes on twin outriggings afford the speeder its maneuverability. Imperial biker scouts use two shoulder-level handgrips to control elevation and direction; a pair of rocker-pivoted pedals controls acceleration.
在侦察和巡逻任务中以惊人速度行进的帝国飞行摩托，是一种外形细长的单座反重力交通工具。这种轻型摩托的时速能超过500公里。两根外伸支架上有四个小型方向控制片，为飞行摩托提供机动性。帝国摩托侦察兵用两根齐肩高的把手来控制摩托的仰角和方向；一对连接曲轴的踏板控制加速度。

Located just fore of the speeder's saddle is a panel of toggle switches and knobs that control communications and other vital systems. Slung beneath the speeder's frame is a single laser cannon.
飞行摩托座椅正前方的面板上有拨动开关和旋钮，用来操控通讯和其它重要系统。飞行摩托车体下方悬挂有一门激光炮。

衍生宇宙



Though the Empire uses a variety of fast-attack repulsorlift ground craft, its preferred speeder bike model is the Aratech 74-Z. Aratech, a manufacturer of civilian models, developed a very efficient and speedy vehicle perfect for Imperial scout troopers. Other models of Imperial bikes include the Aratech 64-Y Swift-3 repulsorlift sled, refitted Ikas-Adno Starhawks, and the Mobquet TrailMaker III.
虽然帝国使用各种快攻型反重力地面交通工具，但其首选的飞行摩托型号是阿拉科技的74-Z。作为民用产品制造商，阿拉科技却开发了一种最适合帝国侦察部队的高效快捷交通工具。其它型号的帝国摩托包括阿拉科技64-Y“迅捷-3”反重力橇、改装的伊卡斯-阿德诺“星隼”和莫布奎特“开路者Ⅲ”。

幕后



George Lucas' request for a "rocket powered scooter" resulted in a slew of artwork from Return of the Jedi's concept team. Nilo Rodis-Jamero's sketches envisioned speeder bikes as blocky and square-shaped, with a large engine in the rear and controls in the foot pedals.
乔治·卢卡斯的“火箭动力单车”设计要求使《绝地归来》的概念小组绘制了许多作品。尼洛·罗迪斯-贾梅罗的草图设想了一种短粗的方形飞行摩托，后部有巨大的引擎，脚踏板处有控制器。

Ralph McQuarrie's speeder bike studies favored fanciful designs over industrial functionality, looking very much like the Naboo concept art Doug Chiang's group would illustrate years later. McQuarrie's speeder bikes had spaceship-like fins and large, clear windscreens, but no real sense of where the power plant may be.
拉尔夫·麦夸里的飞行摩托研究更偏重新颖的设计，而非工业实际，看上去非常像多年后道格·蒋的小组绘制的纳布概念画。麦夸里的飞行摩托有着像太空船一样的尾翼和大型清澈的挡风玻璃，但看不出发电机在哪里。

The speeder bikes were partially realized as full-sized props filmed on location and against bluescreen, and as detailed miniatures fitted with articulated puppets.
电影外景里的飞行摩托有的是蓝幕前的全尺寸道具，有的是载着关节木偶的高精度小模型。
