Arcade motorbike brawl racer
Pelican Moto
One pelican. One busted bike. A whole coastline spoiling for a fight.

Pelican Moto is a cartoon motorbike brawl racer that runs in your web browser: you ride a pelican down a coast road, racing rival birds and clobbering them with whatever you can steal. The first 3 tracks are a free trial, the Full Game is a one-time $1.99, and it's made by AIjentra.

Why you'll keep racing
Brawl at full throttle
8 birds, one coast road and no referee. Slap, club and shove rivals off their bikes while you weave through oncoming traffic.
Steal with your beak
Your pouch is a weapon. Pull up next to an armed rival and Gulp: their frozen mackerel, anchor chain or beach umbrella is yours until you fall off.
Officer Honk is on your tail
A goose cop with a nightstick patrols the coast. Keep moving or knock him off his bike. If he catches you crawling, it's a fine and the race doesn't count.
A career on a shoestring
Start with $500 and a rusty scooter. Win prize money and KO bonuses, pay for what you break, and save up for a bike that can outrun the law.
16 rivals with big mouths
A seagull who mugs tourists for fries, a flamingo who rides on one leg, a posh penguin, a pirate frigatebird and the Pelican King himself. They all talk trash.
Plays anywhere, right now
Runs in the browser on computers and phones with keyboard, gamepad or touch. Comic art and an original surf-rock soundtrack, all hand-coded. No ads.

Ride smarter. Cause better trouble.
Your first race: steal a fish, stay on the road
Start with a battered scooter and a very useful beak. This route through the opening races teaches the moves that matter before you spend your winnings.
A big beak is better than a full inventory
Every race begins with bare wings. Your next weapon is riding beside you. The interesting choice is how to take it, when to use it and when to let it go.
The goose has a badge. You have options.
Officer Honk patrols every road after Harbor Dawn. Knowing when he can arrest you is more useful than simply buying a faster bike.
The coast road
8 roads, from a sleepy fish harbor to a volcano at midnight. Every league runs all of them again, faster and meaner.

Harbor Dawn
The fish market isn't open yet, but the dock gulls are wide awake. The one road on the coast with no cops, so it's where you learn to fight.

Palm Coast
Officer Honk
The coast road at high noon: surfers, palm trees, blind hilltops and your first run-in with Officer Honk.

Salt Flats
Officer Honk
Straights that never end and trucks full of fish, all shimmering in the heat. Pin the throttle. Don't doze off.

Neon Docks
Full GameOfficer Honk
The container port after dark. Neon signs, the heaviest traffic on the coast and cops who work nights.

Lighthouse Cliffs
Full GameOfficer Honk
A cliff road in a downpour, one slick hairpin after another, with a lighthouse blinking at the top.
Fish Market Old Town
Full GameOfficer Honk
Narrow lanes at dusk, lanterns, laundry and delivery vans. It's Officer Honk's home beat, so he comes round more often.
Snowy Pass
Full GameOfficer Honk
A mountain pass in fresh snow. Big climbs, blind crests and a road that's a little less grippy than it looks.
Volcano Isle
Full GameOfficer Honk
The longest road on the map, lit by lava and tiki torches. The Pelican King is waiting at the top.
Know your enemies
16 rivals ride this coast, each with a style. Speed freaks ride clean and fast, brawlers go looking for trouble, cheap-shot artists hit from behind, and tanks just won't go down.
Flyboy
A seagull punk who mugs tourists for fries. Swings a stale baguette, hits from behind and sometimes snatches your weapon.
Kipper
A professionally lazy gull who swears he isn't even trying, and rides like he means it. Carries nothing and rarely bothers to fight.
Quackers
A short-fused duck with a frozen mackerel and no inside voice. If there's a fight on the road, Quackers started it.
Pink Bullet
A flamingo speed queen who rides on one leg and never lets you forget it. No weapon, little interest in you, and usually gone.
Crowbar
A crow enforcer who collects anything shiny and swings an anchor chain. Steal that chain and the road gets quieter.
Divemaster
A cormorant who holds his breath for fun and treats every fish on the road as his. Quick, clean, always a lane over.
Hardhead
A goose with no weapon, no fear and no brakes. Shrugs off a beating and is always spoiling for another.
Motormouth
A parrot who never shuts up, says every insult three times and pokes you with a beach umbrella from a lane away.
Buzzkill
A bald old vulture who doesn't need to win the fight, just to be there when you fall. Chain in claw, hard to knock down.
Tuxedo
A penguin in permanent black tie: flawless manners, a frozen mackerel and the thickest hide of any regular rival.
Redbeard
A pirate frigatebird who robs for a living. The fastest regular on the coast, with a chain and an eye on your pouch.
Top Banana
A loud toucan with a toilet plunger. It's a beak, not a banana, and he'll stick to you until you agree.
Stilts
A tall, patient grey heron with no weapon and no hurry. Somehow he still gets there first.
Night Shift
A grumpy owl on the night shift. His head turns all the way round, so he always sees you coming.
Drifter
A huge albatross who has flown round the world twice. He carries a frozen tuna for emergencies, and you are one.
Big Bill, the Pelican King
The pelican who taught you to use your beak. Rides only the last road of each league, and he brought his chain.
Officer Honk
A goose with a badge, a nightstick and a deep interest in the fish in your mouth. He only chases you.
The garage
8 bikes, from a secondhand scooter to the one the league tried to ban. Bigger bikes are faster, tougher and carry more Fish Nitro. The last 3 come with the Full Game.
Rusty Scooter
Secondhand. The horn's dead and the brakes work when they feel like it.

Questions, answered
Is Pelican Moto free?
The first 3 tracks are free, with no account and no time limit: the opening stretch of the career, plus Quick Race on the same roads. If you want the rest, the Full Game is a one-time payment of $1.99. It unlocks every track, all 3 leagues and the last 3 bikes. There are no ads, no subscriptions and nothing else to buy.
Can I play Pelican Moto on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the web browser on phones and tablets as well as computers, with no app to install. Turn your phone sideways: steering sits bottom left, and hit, gulp and nitro sit bottom right. The throttle stays on by itself, so your thumbs are free to fight. If your phone runs hot, switch Graphics to Battery Saver in Settings.
How do you play?
The throttle is ↑ or W. Steer with the arrow keys or A and D, and hit the rider beside you with Z (left) or X (right). C steals the weapon of whoever is next to you, and Space fires Fish Nitro. Finish in the top 3 to clear a track. You earn cash from prize money and knockouts, then spend it on bikes and gear between races.
Does it work with a gamepad?
Yes. Connect an Xbox, PlayStation or other standard controller and press any button. RT or A is gas, LT or B brakes, LB and RB hit left and right, Y gulps, X fires nitro and Start pauses. Menus work with the D-pad too. In browsers that support it, the controller rumbles on hits and crashes.
Where is my progress saved?
Your career, cash and garage are saved in this browser. Sign in and they're also kept in the cloud, so you can carry on from another device. Without an account the save stays on this device only, and clearing site data or playing in a private window loses it. A Full Game purchase is tied to your account and your recovery code, so it unlocks again anywhere.
How do I restore my Full Game purchase?
Use your recovery code, which looks like PELI-XXXXX-XXXXX. The game shows it right after you pay, and it's also in the Stripe receipt that is emailed to you. In the game, open the Full Game screen (tapping any locked track does it), choose Already bought? Restore Purchase and enter the code. It works on a new phone, in another browser, or after you've cleared your cache.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 7 days of buying. Email [email protected] with your recovery code and we'll refund you in full, back to the way you paid. How long it takes to arrive depends on your bank or WeChat Pay. After a refund, the Full Game locks again and the code stops working, but the free tracks and your save stay. Past 7 days, write to us anyway.
Is there a Steam version?
A Steam version for Windows, macOS and Linux is in the works. It will be the complete game with no paywall and no in-game purchases, and we'll link the store page here once it's live. Web and Steam purchases are separate: a web recovery code doesn't unlock the Steam version, and a Steam copy doesn't unlock the web one.
What languages is Pelican Moto in?
Pelican Moto is available in 10 languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Português (Brasil), Deutsch, Français, and Русский. The game starts in your browser's language, and you can switch at any time in Settings. This website works the same way: pick your language from the menu at the top of any page, and the game link will open in that language.
Is Pelican Moto related to Road Rash?
No. Pelican Moto is an independent game inspired by the motorbike brawl racers of the 1990s, the kind where you fight other riders at full speed. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Electronic Arts, which owns Road Rash. The birds, tracks, art and soundtrack in Pelican Moto are all original.
Does it work offline?
The web version needs an internet connection to load, and to buy or restore the Full Game. Once a race starts, it runs entirely in your browser, so a patchy connection won't cost you the race. There's no offline install of the web version. The Steam version is designed to run without a connection.
How violent is it? Is it OK for kids?
It's slapstick cartoon violence. Birds bonk each other with frozen fish, umbrellas and baguettes, feathers fly, and whoever falls off climbs straight back on. There's no blood, no injuries and nothing gory. The game has no chat, no ads and no online players. It hasn't been through an official age rating yet, so parents may want to watch a race first.
What does the Full Game unlock?
Everything that the free trial locks. That means the last 5 tracks, from Neon Docks to Volcano Isle, plus the Pro and Hell leagues where the prize money grows and the rivals get faster. You also get 3 more bikes: Bonefish 900, Pouch Rocket V2 and Albatross GT. Any progress you made in the free trial carries straight on.
How do I get away from the police?
Keep moving. Officer Honk can only arrest you if he catches you down on the road or crawling along, so the worst thing to do is crash while he's behind you. His bike is always a bit faster than yours, so burn Fish Nitro to pull away, or knock him off his bike. After a while he gives up and heads home.
Who made this
Pelican Moto is made by AIjentra (艾景特科技). We wanted the rush of the old motorbike brawlers in a game that opens in a browser tab, so everything in it, from the birds to the surf-rock soundtrack, is drawn and composed in code. Bug reports, ideas and fan mail go to [email protected].
