The Yesteryear is a Landric-branded bicycle in Neverness to Everness, and it is the most expensive slow vehicle in the game by a wide margin. It carries a max speed rating of 30 and an acceleration rating of 3, which puts it dead last against every car and motorcycle on the market. What it does have is physics that no other vehicle in Hethereau uses, a second seat for a companion, and an event built entirely around it.
Quick answer: Buy the Yesteryear for 800,000 Fons from Luis at a Ticking Back shop if you want the Breezy Tour companion rides and a cozy traversal toy. Skip it if you need speed or a racing vehicle, since a 250,000 Fons Novis ST-X 950 outperforms it everywhere except downhill coasting.
Where to buy the Yesteryear bicycle in Neverness to Everness
The Yesteryear is sold through the Ticking Back bike shops, which are a separate storefront from the Novus, Regalia, and TerraX dealerships you use for cars and motorcycles. It arrives in the second half of Version 1.3, from September 9, and is bought with Fons rather than premium currency.
Yesteryear stats and how they compare to other vehicles
On paper the Yesteryear is the weakest thing you can spend Fons on. Its full stat line is deliberately modest, and there is no engine tuning to raise it.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum Speed | 30 |
| Acceleration | 3 |
| Shift | 0 |
| Height | 1 |
| Damping | 1 |
| Handbrake | 0 |
| Braking | 3 |
The price is where it stings. For 800,000 Fons you are paying more than the ST79 (155 max speed, 600,000 Fons) and more than three times what the Novis ST-X 950 motorcycle costs at 250,000 Fons. The comparison below shows what that money buys elsewhere.
| Vehicle | Max speed / accel | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Yesteryear (bicycle) | 30 / 3 | 800,000 Fons |
| Novis ST-X 950 (motorcycle) | 140 / 6 | 250,000 Fons |
| C2000 (car) | 130 / 3 | 50,000 Fons |
| ST79 (car) | 155 / 5 | 600,000 Fons |
| Rover A1 (scooter) | 40 / 2 | Story reward |
Bicycles and motorcycles cannot be entered into Racing team challenges, so none of this money moves you closer to clearing that content. If your goal is race progression, the Griffin Volante remains the practical purchase.
Yesteryear controls and how fast it actually goes
The 30 rating is a cruising figure, not a ceiling. The bicycle is pedal-driven, so your input and the terrain decide the real number on the speedometer.
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Accelerate | Hold the accelerate key |
| Dash-pedal | Press L Shift repeatedly |
| Jump | Ctrl |
| Brake | SPACE |
| Get off | F |
| Switch view / rear view | Z / X |
| Horn | 0 |
| Exit autopilot | 7 |
Just holding the accelerator on a flat road gives you a steady 30 km/h. Tapping L Shift over and over makes the character pedal hard and pushes the bike to roughly 66–69 km/h, which is faster than the Rover A1 scooter and enough for city traversal. Dash-pedaling drains your character’s stamina, so it is a burst tool rather than a permanent cruising mode.
Terrain matters more here than on any other vehicle. Uphill sections slow the bike noticeably and force you to keep pedaling just to hold your line. Downhill, gravity takes over and the bicycle coasts far past its rating, hitting speeds above 170 km/h on a steep enough slope. That figure is unstable and comes with no braking or handbrake rating to speak of, so treat it as a stunt rather than a travel plan.
Note: Ctrl hops the bike over curbs and small obstacles, and holding it produces a higher jump. It is the main reason the Yesteryear can take shortcuts that cars cannot.
Yesteryear customization: baskets, liveries, and modification fees
Modifications on the Yesteryear are cosmetic. The menu splits into basket accessories and paint or livery options, and each swap costs a flat 400 Fons modification fee on top of the item price.
| Option | Price | Mod fee |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | Default | — |
| Ghost Ride | 0 | 400 |
| Petal Parade | 50,000 | 400 |
| Turbo Linko | 0 | 400 |
| Painty – Color Code 02 | 30,000 | 400 |
| Joyride Kitty | Basket accessory | 400 |
| Joyride Pup | Basket accessory | 400 |
| Frizzle Express | Basket accessory | 400 |
The basket options put a cat, a dog, flowers, or Frizzle in the front carrier, while Turbo Linko and the Painty color codes change the frame’s look. None of them touch performance, and you can switch back to Stock at any time for the same 400 Fons fee.
Breezy Tour: what the Yesteryear unlocks
The strongest argument for the bicycle is the content attached to it. The Yesteryear is built for two, and the Breezy Tour event has characters waiting for the Appraiser to give them a lift across the city. You pick a character from the event page, they take the back seat, and you pedal them to their destination while they talk along the way. Completing the ride closes the quest and pays out the rewards.
The ride can fail, and the fail states are specific. Picking up a Wanted level, falling into the water, or wrecking the bike mid-ride cancels the invitation, and you have to restart the quest from the event page. That is the whole failure list, so avoid traffic incidents and stay away from waterfronts on the way there.
Breezy Tour runs through September 30, 05:59 (UTC+8). Only the main character can steer the bicycle, with your chosen companion riding pillion.
So the verdict comes down to what you want out of 800,000 Fons. As transport it is a downgrade you are paying a premium for, and no amount of dash-pedaling closes the gap to a mid-tier motorcycle. As a piece of Version 1.3 content it is the key to Breezy Tour, the only two-seat pedal vehicle in Hethereau, and the only thing in the game that turns a mountain road into a 172 km/h coast. If your Fons balance is already stretched by apartments, character levels, and race-capable cars, the bicycle can wait until after the event window closes.
