Bike Games Online: Motocross, BMX, Trials and Traffic

Updated

Bike games online cover both motorbikes and bicycles: highway racers that weave through traffic, motocross and trials bikes that need balance over jumps and obstacles, BMX trick games and mountain bikes on downhill tracks. Most use the arrow keys or WASD, and several let two people race on one keyboard. Below are games by independent studios from each kind; the full list is in the bike games collection.

Motorbike games in traffic

  • Moto Fury is an endless highway in traffic. The more dangerously you ride, the more cash and points you earn: overtake cars closely at high speed, or ride in the opposite direction for more. Cash buys faster machines.
  • Crazy Wheelie Motorider puts you in heavy traffic for a high score. Move with WASD or the arrow keys, press Shift to wheelie, and modify your motorcycles.
  • Highway Traffic Racer 3D rides through highways, forests, deserts, snowy roads and cities, with an endless Free Ride, missions and a Time Trial. Steer with the left and right buttons, use the accelerator and brake, or switch to tilt controls.
  • Biker Street is about distance and fuel: ride as far as you can, collect fuel bonuses and coins, and upgrade the bike after each ride. Up and down move, left and right lean.

Dirt bike and motocross games

  • Motocross Jumper is about tricks: 360s, wheelies, front ends and other in-air stunts. Up accelerates, and left and right rotate the bike.
  • Super Motocross takes a dirt bike through levels of ramps, jumps and obstacles. Balance, accelerate and reach the finish without crashing, with a click or a tap.
  • Moto Stunt Online has over twenty-four levels and four motorcycle designs. Keep your balance with WASD or the arrows and fire the nitro with Shift.
  • Motorcycle Dirt Racing Multiplayer is a motocross championship over dirt tracks and off-road landscapes, ridden with WASD.

Trials: balance over obstacles

In the real sport, motorcycle trials is a non-speed event on specialised motorcycles, as Wikipedia puts it. The browser versions keep the obstacles and the balance and add a clock.

  • Trials Ride goes through a hangar. Keep the bike balanced and reach the finish in the shortest time, with the arrow keys or on-screen buttons.
  • Trials Ride 2 adds complex track obstacles, score points and achievements. Use the arrow keys or WASD on a computer and on-screen buttons on a phone.
  • Trials Ice Ride moves to an icy outdoor track with the same controls.
  • Infinite Bike Trials has 200 hard levels, new bikes to buy and rider colors to change, ridden with WASD.

For side-view stunt racing with flips and three-star times, see games like Moto X3M.

BMX and bicycle games

  • Bmx Bike Freestyle & Racing is a freestyle run through a city. Combine flips, spins and grinds to finish each level, and adjust your speed to the obstacles. Move and jump with the arrows.
  • Bmx Tricks puts a BMX on an indoor track with ramps for tricks such as the tailwhip and the superman. In a tailwhip, Wikipedia explains, the frame spins a full turn around the front end, which stays still.
  • Bike Stunt BMX Simulator has 7 skate parks, and you can build your own. Go for big air and flips, or chain manuals, grinds and wallrides. WASD moves, Shift sprints and Space jumps.
  • Short Ride sends a bicycle through deadly courses of sawblades, spikes and swinging traps. Up pedals, down brakes or rolls back, left and right lean, and Space restarts after a crash.

Mountain bike games

  • MTB DownHill Extreme has four mountain bikes and modes for one or two players, with separate front and rear brakes: Space and S for player 1, right Shift and the down arrow for player 2.
  • MX OffRoad Mountain Bike is a downhill ride over rough terrain, high ramps, cliff edges and fog, from checkpoint to checkpoint. Player 1 uses WASD, player 2 the arrows, and a respawn button frees a stuck bike.
  • Real MTB Downhill 3D has 5 mountain roads to finish before time runs out, in different weather.
  • Cycle Racing Game goes uphill instead, in first person, against rivals on mountain trails. A and D or the arrows move you left and right.
  • Stickman Bike Runner is a climb on a mountain bike: the stickman tires on the way up, and batteries along the road keep him going.

Bike games for two players

  • City Bike Racing Champion has races and a huge free map for stunts, alone or in 2-player mode. Player 1 moves with WASD and jumps with Q; player 2 uses the arrows and J. R and U respawn.
  • City Bike Stunt has 6 races to finish in time, with ramps, barriers and nitro. Player 1 uses the arrows and N for nitro; player 2 uses WASD and T.
  • Dirt Bike Max Duel rides over dirt, mountains, stones and woods, and its duel mode pits you against a friend, against time or by round wins.
  • MTB DownHill Extreme and MX OffRoad Mountain Bike above also take two players.

More games to share a keyboard are in 2 player games.

Delivery rides

  • City Delivery Rider Simulator makes you a courier: pick a motorcycle, carry parcels through busy streets, follow checkpoints and manage fuel. W or up accelerates, Space brakes, Shift moves your balance and R resets the bike.
  • Moto Pizza Delivery has you carry hot pizzas to customers' doorsteps on a heavy bike, steered with the arrow keys.

How to ride better

  1. Slow down before drops and jumps you do not know yet.
  2. Lean to land on both wheels. Biker Street, Short Ride and the trials games all give you lean keys.
  3. In trials, get over each obstacle first and chase the time on the next try.
  4. Learn the reset key: R in City Bike Racing Champion and City Delivery Rider Simulator, Space in Short Ride.
  5. In traffic, weigh the risk. Moto Fury pays for close overtakes, but its goal is to ride as long as you can without crashing.

Bike games FAQ

What is the difference between motocross and trials games?

Motocross games are about jumps, speed and tricks on dirt tracks. Trials games are about balance: Trials Ride and its sequels ask you to keep the bike upright over obstacles and reach the finish in the shortest time.

Are there bike games for two players on one keyboard?

Yes. City Bike Racing Champion, City Bike Stunt, Dirt Bike Max Duel, MTB DownHill Extreme and MX OffRoad Mountain Bike all split the keys between WASD and the arrows.

Can you play bike games on a phone?

Many have touch controls. Trials Ride 2 and Trials Ice Ride show on-screen buttons, Highway Traffic Racer 3D offers tilt steering, and Super Motocross is played with taps. The site works in the browser of a phone, a tablet and a computer.

More tricks and off-road rides are in stunt games and offroad games.
