The Signal Bikes are motorcycle counterparts to the Shift Cars. Each Signal Bike is equipped with a Core Driviar-S that negates Heavy Acceleration. If a human has a Signal Bike on their person, they will also be able to move normally under Heavy Acceleration and people can move normally. Apart from transforming into either Mach or Chaser, some enable Mach to perform a Signal Koukan (シグナル交換,Shigunaru Kōkan). This changes the Kourin Signal on his shoulder and alters the properties of shots fired by the Zenrin Shooter. Rather than generating miniature floating roads like the Shift Cars, Signal Bikes simply fly through the air while leaving colored trails in their wake.
Like the Shift Cars, each Signal Bike is equipped with an AI that allows it to act autonomously. However, the ability of the Signal Bakes used for a Signal Koukan to perform reconnaissance is hindered due to them having a habit of repeating whatever road sign instructions they are based on For example, Signal Magarl repeatedly turns left and Signal Tomarle repeatedly stops. This flaw can apparently be overcome if they operate alongside Shift Cars.
The Signal Bikes are among the Core Driviar technology to locked beneath the Drive Pit by Krim Steinbelt to ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands. Unknown to him, Go keeps the Signal Chaser with the hope that Chase can one day be restored. [Who Will You Entrust the Future to, My Friend? ]
Design[]
A standard Signal Bike consists of the following parts:
Hard Metal Cowl (ハードメタルカウル,Hādo Metaru Kauru) - The outer armor of the Signal Bike, it consists of various alloys. Each Signal Bike's alloy proportions differentiate according to the Signal Bike's abilities. Additionally, the Hard Metal Cowl emits a small energy field to protect it even further during combat.
Core Driviar-S (コア・ドライビア-S,Koa Doraibia - S) - A small gravity engine device built into the Signal Bike, it is normally in the form of the 'engine' decoration of the Signal Bike. In addition to releasing energy, it can use waves emmited by the vibrations of the Core Driviar-S to cancel out Heavy Acceleration Waves.
Ability Crest (アビリティクレスト,Abiriti Kuresuto) - A graphic print on the rear wheel of the Signal Bikes, it indicates what ability the Signal Bike holds. If the symbol is a stylised 'R' (the Drive logo), then the Signal Bike is used for transformation.
The rear of the Signal Mach with a black Signal Connect Key.
Signal Connect Key (シグナルコネクトキー,Shigunaru Konekuto Kī) - A connecting device at the back of the Signal Bike, it is used to connect the Signal Bike to the Mach Driver Honoh, and conveys the abilities and characteristics of the bike to the Driver. In the DX toyline, the Signal Connect Key is a series of pin combinations used by the Driver to differentiate each Signal Bike from the other.
Signal Chaser (シグナルチェイサー,Shigunaru Cheisā): A Signal Bike modeled on after the Ride Chaser that is used to transform into Kamen Rider Chaser. It was created using part of Mashin Chaser's body. After Chase's death in final battle against Gold Drive, Go Shijima uses it to transform into Kamen Rider Chaser Mach. It is the only Signal Bike to not be sealed in the Drive Pit at the end of the series, and it remains in Go's possession.
Signal Chaser
These Signal Bikes are used to perform a Signal Koukan, changing the Kourin Signal on Mach's right shoulder and granting him unique abilities.

Signal Magarl (シグナルマガール,Shigunaru Magāru): A Signal Bike based on a dirt bike and left turn only sign. It equips Mach with the Kourin Signal Magarl and enables him to bend the trajectory of shots fired by the Zenrin Shooter.

Pressing the Mach Driver's Boost Igniter after firing a shot creates a hazard sign-shaped portal that summons a Demon Beast, which is initially miniscule before suddenly growing giant. This Signal Bike's name is an elongation of the Japanese word for "danger" (危険,kiken).

Signal Kaksarn (シグナルカクサーン,Shigunaru Kakusān): A Signal Bike based on a cruiser motorcycle and multi-way sign. It equips Mach with the Kourin Signal Kaksarn and enables him to split shots fired from the Zenrin Shooter in order to attack from multiple direction or attack multiple enemies. Mach can time when the shots split by pressing the Mach Driver's Boost Igniter. This Signal Bike's name is an elongation of the Japanese word for "diffuse" (拡散,kakusan).

Notes[]
The Mach Signal Bike placed within the Shift Brace.
To tie into the various theming around Mach being the center of Super-1 references, Mach's Signal Bikes match a similar color scheme of the Five Hands.
When any Signal Bike is used with either the DX Drive Driver and Shift Brace, DX Break Gunner, or DX Lupin Gunner, it will make the toy announce something involving the word "Next" (ネクスト,Nekusuto), referencing it being part of the Next System.
Drive Driver & Shift Brace: "Type Next" (タイプネクスト,Taipu Nekusuto) and various numbered Next Tire Exchanges.
Break Gunner and Lupin Gunner: "Next System" (ネクストシステム,Nekusuto Shisutemu), which can also occur when Shift Deadheat is inserted into the Break Gunner.
Similarly, placing Signal Chaser into the Shift Brace causes the Drive Driver to announce "Type Get Next" (タイプゲットネクスト,Taipu Getto Nekusuto).
Three of the Signal Bike's are based on a motorcycle design:
The Kikern Signal Bike is the odd one out, which resembles part of a motorbike fused with the hammer of a gun and one of the bullet beasts the Zenrin Shooter can shoot with Mach as Mach Kikern. It could be considered to closely resemble a streamliner motorcycle, such as the BUB Seven Streamliner.

where it inserts itself into Kiriko's Shift Car Holder just before she and Shinnosuke were consumed by the phenomenon emitting from the History Modifying Machine. This resulted in Kiriko's original memories of her timeline not being altered. It later appears in the concluding episode of the three-part D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4 where the Great Leader of Shocker transformed into Faiz via Signal Legend Faiz. Otherwise, the Legend Rider Signal Bikes are exclusive to the DX toyline.
