The XC-class soulcycle is, as the name suggests, a soul-powered motorcycle.[1] It looks like a regular motorcycle, but with metal wheels instead of rubber and a glass barrel instead of a gas tank.[2] When a soulcycle starts up, it gives off a sound like a crack of thunder. It floats above the ground, its wheels supported by a shimmering blue aura and short arcs of lightning.[3] Powered with seven souls, it has a top speed of around fifteen miles per hour.[4][5]

- ↑ “I’ve never heard of such a thing,” she said. She looked toward the motorcycle - the soulcycle, I guess she’d called it. “Whatever is wrong with you … it has to wait. We’re safe here, I think, so long as the Coterie doesn’t attack en masse, but that’s only a matter of time. We need damned souls to fuel the soulcycle.”
—Worth the Candle Chapter 3: "Solely Responsible" - ↑ The thing she was pointing at sat off to the side of the auto shop floor. It looked more or less like a motorcycle, but it had metal wheels instead of rubber and where a gas tank would normally go there was a thick glass barrel which stood completely empty.
—Worth the Candle Chapter 3: "Solely Responsible" - ↑ Instead, it gave off a sound like a crack of thunder and short, finger-long arcs of lightning arced out from the wheels as the whole thing rose up from the ground. It sat there with a shimmering translucent blue aura around the wheels, a few inches off the floor.
—Worth the Candle Chapter 6: "Cold Comfort" - ↑ “We ride,” she said simply. “Seven souls will get us up to maybe fifteen miles per hour. That will have us in Silmar City within two days, even if we stop and hole up during the night tonight. With two of us, we could trade driving duties, but it’s difficult to sleep on a soulcycle.”
—Worth the Candle Chapter 6: "Cold Comfort" - ↑ As she’d guessed, the soulcycle topped out at fifteen miles per hour, which was fast enough to beat a person sprinting after us and certainly meant we could out-pace the Voltrons. It was still slower than I could pedal a bike though, and in comparison to a car it was practically sedate.
