Fern and KB's hoverbike was a modified two–being hoverbike owned by the human Fern and her friend KB on the planet At Attin during the New Republic Era.
Characteristics
Fern and KB's hoverbike was designed to carry both girls.
The hoverbike stared as simple two–being speeder owned by the human Fern and her friend KB[2] on the planet At Attin during the New Republic Era.[3] The pair modified the speeder with a more powerful engine. It was 1.64 meters long, 1.12 meters wide, 0.84 meters high with a side seat.[2]
History
Around 9 ABY,[4] the day before the Career Assessment Test, Fern and KB rode to school on the bike, taking a short cut through the forest. After school while taking a jump out of a tunnel the speeder scraped the ground and eventually came to a stop. After getting it back to KB's home, KB noticed that the power converter was burnt out and they needed a replacement.[3]
Behind the scenes
The hoverbike first appeared in "This Could Be a Real Adventure,"[3] the first episode of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which aired on December 2, 2024.[5]

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — "This Could Be a Real Adventure"
- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
