The Technical body type can be equipped with hover wheels. Hover wheels are tires that can transform the vehicle into a slow hovercraft, allowing it to do tight maneuvers, such as strafing, in combat. To hover, equip the Hover Wheels and then press "Brake" to enter hovering mode. You can unlock the Hover Wheels in the mission "Hostile Takeover".
