"Here's my jump speeder, which hasn't been working right since I cleaned the repulsorlift coil. Aren't you supposed to clean it?"
―Ezra Bridger in his private journal[5]

The Undicur-class jumpspeeder, also referred to as the Jedi jumpspeeder, was a speeder bike manufactured by Kuat Vehicles.

A compact speeder bike, the Undicur-class was designed to be sold alongside starships as utility vehicles, local transportation, and search and rescue missions. Their durable frame, coupled with the low-output repulsorlift engines, made them easy to produce and stow aboard ships like the Eta-class shuttle.[2] Young rebel and Jedi-in-training Ezra Bridger was unsure if an Undicur owner was supposed to clean its repulsorlift coil, citing how his speeder had not been working as it was supposed to since he had cleaned it.[5]

Collapsible, their simple saddle and control panel were sufficient for short trips between a starship and a destination. During the Clone Wars, the jumpspeeders saw frequent use by the Grand Army of the Republic and members of the Jedi Order.[2]

History

Ahsoka Tano rode a jumpspeeder to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mortis.

Though designed as an emergency craft for the Jedi Order and regional military patrols, the design proved popular with civilians after the Clone Wars.[1] Several were used by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and Padawan Ahsoka Tano during the mission to Mortis.[3] One was later used by Sabine Wren four years before the Battle of Yavin on the Outer Rim planet Lothal[4] a Raid near Jalath.

Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus rode a pair of Undicur-class from Lando Calrissian's farm and saw the remains of a burned Tarkintown.[6] Sabine lent her bike to her friend Ketsu Onyo, but she ended up destroying Sabine's speeder bike due to her carelessness.[7]

It was first named as the Undicur-class jumpspeeder in the 2014 reference book Star Wars Rebels: Head to Head, authored by Pablo Hidalgo.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the name was first given in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Incredible Vehicles, a 2011 reference book written by Jason Fry.[10]
