How do you handle Micro size vehicles such as below?

  Motorcycles

  Gravebikes

  Magnetic Repulsion Surfboards/Skateboards

  Powered Hang Gliders/Powered Wing

I assume that this will be addressed in Busg Don't Surf (BDS). These
micro vehicles are usually used as scouting vechicles. But in the mean
time, I welcome comments on the below:

0.5 size vehicles:

Only open top vechicles may be .5 size. If it is enclosed, it will be
size 1 or larger

Provides NO armor protection. Treat as infantry. (SG2 treat as dispersed
target).

May carry upto size 1 weapon in a Restricted Traverse Turret. The weapon
is actually

  fixed, but treated as restricted traverse due to the extreeme
maneuverablility of the

  vehicle.

May carry 1 rider.

May carry 1 passenger at movement penalty of 1 grade worse terrain.

Pilot may fire infantry weapon at a Shift Down.

0.5 size vehciles do NOT get a free ASPW if mounting other weapons.
