Shift Cars, Signal Bikes, & Viral Cores
{{#tag:tabber| Shift Cars= {{nihongo|Shift Cars|シフトカー|Shifuto Kā}} are miniature cars used by Kamen Rider Drive in conjunction with his belt, the Drive Driver, and bracelet, the Shift Brace, which work together via infrared. The Shift Cars are divided into two basic categories: those which change Drive's {{nihongo|Type|タイプ|Taipu}} form, as well as transform his car Trideron, and those that enhance the capabilities of his and/or Trideron's current Type with a {{nihongo|Tire Exchange|タイヤ交換|Taiya Kōkan}}, adding the last part of a Shift Car's name to his current Type (i.e, Type Speed Flare). These Tires sometimes come with a special weapon for Drive. During the exchanging, the Tires can hurt enemies by the previous ones being tossed at them, as well as the replacement Tires attacking them.

The Shift Cars can generate their own special tracks for running, akin to the DenLiner and the Zero-Liner, using these tracks to attack Roidmudes. As long as someone has a Shift Car on their person, they are able to ignore the time distortions a Roidmude emits when active, unless multiple time distortion effects occur, in which case one must have multiple Shift Cars on their person.

Shift Cars are fully sentient. They cannot speak, but can feel emotions and show them through their beeping or through car signs they spawn alongside their tracks.

They can be controlled by Mr. Belt, summoned by Shinnosuke and Kiriko by calling their names, or can simply come of their own volition. Throughout the series they are off investigating their own cases, but return to Drive when they are done gathering data to assist him in battling Roidmudes. {{#tag:tabber| Type Change Cars= {{#tag:tabber| Speed= {{Quote|Drive: Type Speed! (Upbeat jazz music)|Transformation announcement|Kamen Rider Drive}} {{nihongo|Shift Speed|シフトスピード|Shifuto Supīdo}}: A sports car-based Shift Car that can be used by the Drive Driver to function as its "eyes". When placed into the Shift Brace, it transforms Drive into his basic Type Speed form, which bears the {{nihongo|Type Speed Tire|タイプスピードタイヤ|Taipu Supīdo Taiya}} across Drive's torso. This Shift Car first appears in episode 1.

By turning the Advanced Ignition on the Driver and lifting the Shift Speed Car three times, Drive can activate a special ability where he moves incredibly fast and performs high velocity attacks. He can also execute an attack called {{nihongo|Turbo Smash|ターボスマッシ|Tābo Sumasshu}} in which Drive makes the Type Speed Tire to rotate rapidly as he skids towards the enemy and trips them up into the air. Afterwards, he unleashes a barrage of rapid punches onto the falling target, making an image of a speedometer appear from the resulting series of punches. Alternatively, Drive can skip the tripping portion of his attack and go immediately to its punching portion.

By turning the Advanced Ignition on the Driver, pressing the Igniter on the Brace, and lifting the Shift Speed Car once, Drive initiates the Full Throttle finisher {{nihongo|SpeeDrop|スピードロップ|Supīdoroppu}}, where four spinning tires manifest to surround the enemy while Drive turns his back to the target as the Tridoron races around him, focusing his power. The tires then fully close in on the target, making the target shoot forwards towards Drive, who instead jumps at the Tridoron and kicks at it, making him bounce off of it and kick the target. Drive then keeps bouncing off the Tridoron and kicking the target in a pinball-like manner until he comes in with the final kick, skidding to a stop.

{{-}} {{!}}-{{!}} Lupin Blade= {{nihongo|Lupin Blade Viral Core|ルパンブレイドバイラルコア|Rupan Bureido Bairaru Koa}}: A Viral Core used by Kamen Rider Lupin. Its exact usage is unknown, but presumably it allows Lupin to use the blade mode on his Lupin Gunner. {{-}} }} {{-}} }}
