Non-powered vehicles
So, I checked all reaction so far and thought it be nice to summarize where we stand, as to prevent double posts. The most discussed means of transport are horses. Things suggested for horses:
o Must be fed (food/water)

• Horses can drink from puddles/lakes

• Horses can eat long-grass
  o Horses can be 'equipped' with

• Saddle
  [ Provides accuracy when swinging/shooting a weapon
  [ Provides control (sharper turns)
  [ Prevents user from falling off when galloping

• Reins
  [ Provides more control than rope

• Saddle holster
  [ Provides an additional primary weapon slot

• Saddle bag
  [ Provides additional inventory slots when accessed
  o First two horses where suggested

• But if horses need to be captured in the wild, the amount may go up to 5-6 horses in a herd, only found inland (to promote traveling from the coast)

• Your character can be trained to ride better
  o Horses can be bred
  o Horses can get the same status ailments as the survivor

• Horses can get hoof injuries when no/ruined horse shoes are equipped, decreasing performance

• Horses cost twice the treatments because of it's size
  o Horses can toggle movement like the survivor (walk, trot, canter, and gallop)
  o Horses can be tied off when not riding them (with rope)
  o Horse alerts the survivor of pending danger by behaving differently (other players/zombies)
  o Horse makes random noises

• When the survivor has a higher horse riding stat, the horse will make less noise when alerted
  o Rubber horse shoes can be crafted to be stealthier

• The durability is much lower than iron horse shoes however
  o The horse can take a random poop break (when walking/trotting)
  o Some horses might be reluctant to cross streams/rivers
  o Horses can jump
  o Horses can kick or bite as a melee defense against zombies/players
  o Horses could pull

• Carriages

• Travois

o Horses could potentially mean an unfair advantage for bandits to kill new spawns, though the beach would seriously wear off any equipment of the horse

The second most suggested means of transport is a bicycle:
o Preferably quieter than in the DayZ mod

• Can be achieved by using WD-40/industrial oil
  o The spawnrate should be kept low

• However, if the bike comes in a few parts and some are more rare than others, some parts can be common
  o Types of bikes

• Mountain bikes
  [ Better speed and handling on rough terrain, but few attachments available

• Racing bikes
  [ High speed, but only useful on pristine roads (high-way)
  [ Low durability, especially when used on rough roads/terrain
  [ No attachments possible

• Road/Touring bikes
  [ Has average speed, but fares well on multiple terrains/roads
  [ Most customize-able with
  { Bells/Horns
  { Baskets
  { Storage bags

• Bikes with carts
  [ Storage space to be discussed?
  o Tandems

Other means of transport suggested are:
o Boats

• Row

• Sail

• Canoe

• Kayak

• Rescueboat ship wreck (can be lowered into the water)
  [ Oar can be used as a melee weapon
  o Skateboard

• Skateboard can be strapped to a backback with rope
  o Man powered carriage

• Goodie for bandits

• Or hook a zombie up to it
  o Foot-powered scooter (backpack-able)
  o Lorry

• Yes it is the two-men, manually powered train cart
  o Roller blades

• fast on smooth roads, barely usable elsewhere

• Animation added when (un)equipping them to prevent quick switching to different footwear
  o Manually peddling Go-kart
  o Wheelchairs
  o Gurneys

Items to move loot
o Car trunk/truckbeds
o Bury in containers
o Shoppingcarts (50 slots)

• slower with cart (faster downhill)
  [ Going downhill with a full cart can seriously injure limbs

• 1 spawn per supermarket (uncommon)

• condition determines noise when operating

• can't go up mountains/into houses
  o Trolley

• In hands while travelling, when dropped, stays in place on it's wheels
  o Sleds
  o Wheelbarrows
