Flying Motorbikes?

[Regitnui]

I have a player who wants a "1-person, flying vehicle." Any playgrounder heard anything in 3.5 (preferably Eberron) that convers that description? I have told her about glidewings (pterosaurs), but she's ambivalent. I just want to make sure she's got all the options.

Some kind of effigy flying creature?

Soarsled from one of the Eberron books counts but only works in Sharn IIRC

Elder evils has a creature that rides what basically amounts to a hoverbike, quite powerful though if my memory serves so probably best avoided until higher levels.

Broom of flying (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#broomofFlying) or a single seater flying carpet (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#carpetofFlying)perhaps?

See the flight section of this post (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187851) for more ideas.

Or I could copy it into this spoiler for you.


Cheap:

Amber Amulet of Vermin: Giant Wasp (MIC). 800GP, throat slot. Once per day, get a flying bug thing to carry you around for one minute.
Wand of Swift Fly (SpC). 4500GP, held. Swift action activation, flight (as Fly spell) for one round. Requires the ability to activate Sorcerer/Wizard Wands or a DC 20 Use Magic Device check. If you prefer a permanent but less versatile solution, use an eternal Wand (MIC/ECS) instead, which changes the price to 4420GP and limits the use to 2/day.
Owlfeather Armor (MIC). 8160GP, body slot. Fly three times per day (40', good maneuverability) for five rounds. Swift action activation, has some secondary benefits.
Cloak of the Dragon (CChamp). 6000GP, shoulders slot. Fly speed equal to your land speed, maneuverability not specified, for 10 minutes once per day.
Reins of Ascension (MIC). 3300GP, throat slot. Allows your mount (nothing preventing you from using it yourself, I suppose, but you'll look kinky as hell) to briefly fly by expending 2 or 3 of the 3-per-day charges.
Dragonscale Cloak (MIC). 5000GP, shoulders slot. Winged flight (60', good maneuverability) for 2 hours per day. Swift action activation. Unfortunately, it's a relic.

Standard:

Feathered Wings graft (FF). 10000GP, slotless. Demon wings are grafted onto your body, yummy! All-day flight, average maneuverability, twice your land speed. Drives you bonkers if you're not Evil.
Winged Mask (MoF). 13000GP, face slot. Can cast Fly at will, which means you're recasting it every 5 minutes for all-day flight. Also makes you glow for some reason. Be wary of Dispel Magic, as the CL on this thing is only 5.
Phylactery of Change (AEG). 11200GP, head slot. All-day Polymorph up to 7HD, with some limitations. Not particularly good for in-combat flight (unless you build around Polymorph somehow), but a great item for general utility.
Winged West (MIC). 12000GP, torso slot. Allows you to fly for 5 rounds at 60', good maneuverability. This is not an all-day flight item, but it is better than most such due to the swift action activation time. Good to bring up once you or your DM has become disgusted by permaflight items from semi-obscure 3.0 books.
Broom of Flying (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#broomofFlying). 17000GP, ridden rather than worn. It's not all-day (only 9 hours), it's not very fast, and you can get knocked off. Still possibly your best bet in a core-only game.
5x5 Carpet of Flying (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#carpetofFlying). 20000GP, ridden rather than worn. The all-day, more comfortable version of the Broom.

Deluxe:

Phoenix Cloak (MIC). 50000GP, shoulders slot. All-day flight at your land speed, with perfect maneuverability, no bells or whistles.
Horseshoes of Flame (SS). 30240GP, feet slot (presumably). Not for you, but your horse, which turns into a smart magic nightmare thing that flies at a speed of 90', with good maneuverability, for 21 hours/day total. Use Magic Device it to cheese it onto yourself.
Wings of Flying (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#wingsofFlying) (DMG). 54000GP, shoulders slot. The core go-to for true personal permaflight. More expensive than the Phoenix Cloak, and only good maneuverability. But this one's flight speed is fixed at 60', which can be an advantage over the Phoenix Cloak if you are slow as a halfling wearing full plate.
Ring of Solar Wings (BoED). 118000GP, ring slot. All-day flight at 150', with good maneuverability. As expensive as it gets, but it's really fast.

Not recommended:
Buffeting Wings (RotD), Wand of Winged Watcher (CScou), Hawkfeather Armor (MIC), Skin of Celestial/Fiendish Embrace (MIC), Figurine of Wondrous Power -Bronze Griffon (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicitems/wondrousitems.htm#bronzeGriffon) or Ebony Fly (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicitems/wondrousitems.htm#ebonyFly) (DMG), Wild Shape Amulet (MoF), Horseshoes of a Zephyr (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicitems/wondrousitems.htm#horseshoesofaZephyr) (DMG), Winged Boots (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#bootsWinged) (DMG), custom item of continuous Swift Fly (DMG, SpC),Celestial Armor (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicArmor.htm#celestialArmor) (DMG), Feathered armor enhancement (DotF), Winged Shield (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicArmor.htm#wingedShield) (DMG).

Ornithopter in Arms and Equipment?

[Krobar]

I once had a character that had a flying recliner. It was a homebrew thing based on a flying carpet.

Just look at other items and make something that does the same thing but just looks different.

[killem2]

How about she builds the chasis for what she wants, gets it enchanted via custom magic item rules with the Fly spell.

[Deox]

Had a character in a game that used Spell Thematics to change the look of a Phantom Steed spell to look more like a Phantom-Steed-Motorcycle.

Effect was cast on a rod, which must be held at all times to activate and use (essentially the throttle).

[chainer1216]

this is Eberron right? build the chassis however she wants, but out of soarwood, get some gnome to bind an elemental, most likely fire or air, into it and BAM! she has what she wants
