Both my Seattle magic types had Scooter clones at chargen.
Yeah, its lame but it gets the job done.
My Denver character just had a $100 bicycle that he used to get to his PT Job.
In either case if we had to travel far then I would travel in someone elses car/truck.
I don't have an issue with spirits being outside their domains now that we are past 1E-3E where Domains was a thing.
I do have an issue with using them willy nilly when the local cops are going to see it.
Manifested spirits just isn't a common thing on the city streets.
I think the way the rules work now is broken, the example from all the way back in SR1 was of a walking shaman moving like a sprinting man IIRC, not moving like a speeding car or jet fighter.
I just don't see a person walking getting past sprinting speed (18MPH?) while running on foot might get up to a fast bicycle speed (30 MPH), so maybe hauling arse on a Bike with spirit gets you up to 60 but as pointed out, your going to hate life if you wipe out. You'd better be burning another service on Guard to protect your hoop from crashing.
