Intro
Cavalry is described on p. 25 of the Dirtside rules. However, this does not address how to handle Mechanized Cavalry (Motorcycles, Gravbikes, Gravboards, etc.). Following are rules on how to deal with Mechanized Cavalry.
These rules do not apply to Infantry Walkers. Infantry Walkers are addressed in the DS2 rules.

One Man Vechicles
One man vehicles count as Cavalry in cost and function.
If the vehicle is designed to normally carry 2 people, it is a size 1 vehicle.
- Mike Elliott

Movement
Movement is based on movement type.
