The Songbird gravbike is produced by GliderDyne Industries of Lunion and can be found all over the Spinward Marches. The basic design is considered to be a classic by gravbike enthusiasts and has remained unchanged for over 150 years. The Songbird is intended for fairly light pleasure use, although its fuel cell and simple electronic system are robust. The low power light grav propulsion system allows a much more precise control over maneuver than is found with a standard grav based bike such as the GliderDyne Mockingbird, making the Songbird a particular favorite among amateur precision aerobatics teams. The rider sits on an unenclosed seat, making operation in inclement weather unpleasant. No cargo space is provided, but up to 140kg of extra mass may be secured to the vehicle with straps without affecting performance, making some practical travel possible.
