The Akira Bike (unofficial name) was a hidden character in Happy Wheels, only accessible in the Level Editor from 4th of June 2010 to November 19th 2010. His discovery was first documented by the user ThatCanadianGuy^[1].

The Akira Bike originally just contained Irresponsible Dad as a placeholder character, as Jim hadn't created the actual playable character for it. The bike is based on the bike from the Japanese manga film Akira^[2].

To access the character, a player had to click the playable character in the level editor, and change the "Character" number to 5.

Akira Bike was removed from the game after the addition of the Moped Couple. According to Jim, many months ago, when asked about this character by ThatCanadianGuy, Jim stated that the character was never fully added due to Jim being unable to figure out proper physics for it. Even if the player did select #5 as the playable character, testing the level was impossible, as was saving it.
