Shift Cars, Signal Bikes, & Viral Cores
{{#tag:tabber| Shift Cars= {{nihongo|Shift Cars|シフトカー|Shifuto Kā}} are miniature cars, powered by Core Driviars, 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 and/or Tridoron's {{nihongo|Type|タイプ|Taipu}} (or basic form), and those that enhance the capabilities of his and/or Tridoron'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 {{nihongo|Shift Tires| シフトタイヤ|Shifuto Taiya}} sometimes come with a special weapon for Drive. During the exchanging, the Shift Tires can hurt enemies by the previous ones being tossed at them, as well as the replacement Shift Tires attacking them. After their Shift Tire is activated, Drive can activate a special ability by turning the Advanced Ignition on the Driver and lifting the Shift Car up to three times, or a {{nihongo|Full Throttle|フルスロットル|Furu Surottoru}} finishing technique by turning the Advanced Ignition on the Drive Driver, pressing the Igniter on the Shift Brace, and lifting the Shift Car currently placed into the Shift Brace once.

Shift Cars can also be used in any of Drive's three weapons (Handle-Ken, Door-Ju, and Trailer-Hou) to activate Full Throttle finishers, in Kamen Rider Mach's Mach Driver Honoh to activate a {{nihongo|Signal Exchange|シグナル交換|Shigunaru Kōkan}}, which either passively enhances his Zenrin Shooter's capabilities or summons a special weapon, and in Mashin Chaser's Break Gunner to enhance its capabilities.

The Shift Cars can generate their own special tracks for running, akin to the DenLiner, Zero-Liner and other Time Trains, 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. Only Shinnosuke, Mr. Belt, and Kiriko are capable of understanding their language. Other Special Investigation Unit members are also aware of their existence, but were unaware of their true nature (sans Rinna and secretly Chief Honganji) and dismissed them as Shinnosuke's toy cars until Shift Wild was once used to destroy one of Medic's fake corpses.

They can be controlled by Mr. Belt (who can use Type Change cars to communicate with others from a distance), 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= {{#tag:tabber| Standard= {{#tag:tabber| Speed= 1={{Quote|Drive: Type Speed!

{{nihongo|Shift Speed|シフトスピード|Shifuto Supīdo}}: A sports car-based Shift Car that either transforms Drive into his basic Type Speed form, which bears the Type Speed Tire across his torso, or equips Mach with the Kourin Signal {{nihongo|Hayai|ハヤーイ|Hayāi|lit. "Fast" (早い)}}. This Shift Car first appears in episode 1.

Its special ability, activated by turning the Advanced Ignition on the Driver and lifting the Shift Speed Car three times, allows Drive to move incredibly fast and perform 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.

Its Full Throttle finisher is the {{nihongo|SpeeDrop|スピードロップ|Supīdoroppu}}, where Drive focuses power into his right leg, making it glow red as he slams into the enemy with a flying kick.
 * A variation of this finisher has four spinning tires manifest to surround the enemy while Drive turns his back to the target as 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 Tridoron and kicks at it, making him bounce off of it and kick the target. Drive then keeps bouncing off Tridoron and kicking the target in a pinball-like manner until he comes in with the final kick, skidding to a stop.
