The '''Flame Rider''' is an unlockable [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|standard]] [[bike]] body that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The character's logo is found on the front, but it seen on the rear of the bike as well. The engine has a [[Fire Flower]], a V-twin cylinder with [[Mushroom]] pistons that shake, and a [[? Block]]'s question mark engraved on it. The Flame Rider offers a small acceleration boost and a large handling boost at the cost of weight and grip. It shares its stats with the [[Pipe Frame]], [[Wild Wiggler]], [[Standard Bike]], [[W 25 Silver Arrow]], [[Varmint]], and [[City Tripper]]. It is reminiscent of real-life bikes, most notably the {{wp|Chopper (motorcycle)|chopper}} design popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s, similar to the [[Zipper (kart)|Zipper]] and [[Wario Bike]]. The 150cc staff ghost for [[Shy Guy Falls]] uses [[Shy Guy]] on the Flame Rider with the [[Off-Road]] tires.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', CPU [[Shy Guy]], [[Bowser]], [[King Boo]], [[zeldawiki:Champion's Tunic|Champion's Tunic]] [[Link]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Petey Piranha]] can be occasionally seen using this bike body, with Shy Guy using the [[Off-Road]] tires while Bowser, Champion's Tunic Link (who also uses the [[Parachute (glider)|Parachute]] glider with it), King Boo and Petey Piranha pair it with [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires; Waluigi uses the [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires instead. Additionally, the Flame Rider now only shares its stats with the Standard Bike, Wild Wiggler and W 25 Silver Arrow. The 200cc staff ghost for [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]] has [[Dry Bowser]] using this bike with the [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires and the [[Bowser Kite]].
