The Yoshi Bike is a bike body that appears in Mario Kart 8. As its name suggests, the bike modeled after Yoshi with a pair of movable arms that usually extend when the racer uses the vehicle's glider. Yoshi eggs decorate the wheel's spindles. It has the same stats as the Sport Bike, Jet Bike, and Comet. As a result, it offers increased acceleration and handling, exchanged for lower weight and traction. The Yoshi Bike also performs inside drifting, instead of outside drifting.

Trivia
- The bike's arms extending while gliding is reminiscent of Yoshi outstretching his arms when airborne after the player uses a Launch Star in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
- This is not the first bike to resemble a playable Mario Kart character. It was first done by th Flame Runner from Mario Kart Wii, which resembled Bowser.
