Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike

The Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike was a Separatist ground craft resembling a giant wheel, with four clawed legs hanging from the sides.

It could roll on the ground at great speed, crushing enemy soldiers in its path. The legs were engaged whenever the craft needed to climb steep cliffs, especially useful on the sinkhole-filled planet of Utapau. Grievous kept several of these wheelbikes stationed at his command center there.

The driver was positioned in a seat on one side of the wheel, while an nd-53 double laser cannon occupied the other side.



General Grievous used a wheel bike while being pursued by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been sent on a specific mission&mdash;to either capture or kill the General&mdash;on a varactyl named Boga.

After a long chase through several tunnels, Obi-Wan got close and jumped onto Grievous's wheel bike. This made Grievous lose control and the wheel bike went into a spin. Both Kenobi and the General were thrown off, and the wheel bike rampaged over the edge of a platform, falling to its destruction.

The young miner Jann Tosh used a 48 Roller wheel bike, which was a later model of this vehicle, that was created near the end of the Clone Wars.
