Arm Bike (アームバイク) is a Third Stage obstacle introduced in SASUKE 4 as the third obstacle, replacing Hang Move from the previous two tournaments. Competitors must use their arms to pedal a bike onto a track (5 metres in distance), similar to the way a person pedals a bike with their feet. It acted as an energy waster for Cliffhanger that was placed as the next obstacle. However, no competitor ever failed it and it was replaced by Lamp Grasper in SASUKE 9.

However, the Arm Bike would make two one-off appearances afterwards. The first was in SASUKE 18, where it was placed as the second obstacle and directly following Arm Rings, before being replaced by Kudari Lamp Grasper in the following tournament. The second instance was in SASUKE 27, where it was placed as the first obstacle. However, just like in SASUKE 18, it was directly replaced in the following tournament, this time by the returning Rumbling Dice.
KUNOICHI Appearance[]
Arm Bike (アームバイク) later appeared as the second obstacle of the Black Stage (Third Stage) on KUNOICHI 10. Just like in SASUKE, it was functioned as energy waster, hence no one has ever failed on the obstacle.
It was replaced by the Sidewinder for the reboot in KUNOICHI 12.
