Basic controls on a bike
Check
Every action you need to ride is on the keyboard. Steering, speed, and view are all separate keys. The parking brake and first-person view are also available while riding.
- W and S accelerate and brake
- A and D steer left and right
- T pulls a wheelie
- Hold B and W together for a burnout
- Shift while on the bike applies the parking brake

On-foot and camera options
Tips
When you step off your bike you can still move around the world on foot. Press Shift while walking to run. If you want to look around the environment without riding anywhere, Shift and P together open a free camera.

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend real money to get more bikes?
No. Bikes are bought with in-game cash that you earn by playing. You can build up a full collection without spending anything outside the game.
Can I ride with friends?
Yes. If you and your friends join the same server, you share the open world and can ride together or meet at hangout spots.
What should I do if my bike or cash disappears?
The game is in beta, so data loss is a known risk. Open a ticket through the official community channel and the team will handle your case.
How do I get the Rider's Baptism badge?
Follow the Veteran Rider's guidance on the fundamentals — throttle, respect, and riding — until the game awards the badge.
