Mechano-hog is a motorcycle mount that is created by top Horde engineers. This vehicle takes all the fall damage, will be destroyed if enough damage is done, and allows one party member to ride along in the side-car. The components that can't be made, or skinned, can be purchased from Roxi Ramrocket at K3 in Storm Peaks for 12500 and are available for sale only to engineers able to craft this item.

The Alliance counterpart is called the [Mekgineer's Chopper]. Both fulfill the achievement Get to the Choppa!.

Notes

This is a very special mount, in the sense that it works exactly like a mountable vehicle. Thus, it is considered a "pet". Due to this, it differs significantly from regular mounts in several ways.

This mount benefits from [Aspect of the Pack]'s 30% speed increased when used, even faster than when Paladins use [Crusader Aura], a 20% increase.
This mount does NOT benefit from [Crusader Aura], as it is considered a vehicle/pet, not a mount.
When the rider or passengers fall a significant distance, the resulting fall damage is resisted entirely by the mount, the player, and its passengers. No damage is taken.
As it is a vehicle, there is also a 0.5-second boarding animation associated with summoning and dismissing the mount, during which the player cannot move or take any actions.
While mounted, a player cannot use most spells, abilities, or items that typically dismount the player, even if the option is enabled in the interface options menu. They must first dismount by casting the mount summon spell, using the dismiss option in the right-click menu of the mount's portrait, or removing the buff, before they can take any other actions.

Activating the Sidecar

To activate the Mechano-hog's sidecar and carry a passenger, simply invite them to a group. The player's pointer will then turn to a green mounting arrow when they mouse over the Mechano-hog, allowing them to jump on while the sidecar deploys itself automatically.
