===Equipment and weapons===
[[File:Type-J SFR.png|thumb|right|The Type-J, from ''[[Sonic Free Riders]]''.]]
Jet's choice of equipment is his [[Type-J]], a Board type [[Extreme Gear]] made specifically by [[Wave the Swallow|Wave]] for him to travel with at high speed. Over time, the Type-J has been redesigned to be so full of quirks so that only Jet can master it.<ref name="SRZGending3">{{Cite game |dev1=[[Sonic Team]] |dev2=CRI Middleware |date=22 February 2008 |game=Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity |system=PlayStation 2 |pub=[[Sega]] |quote='''Type-J's profile''': Jet's gear, redesigned by Wave. Full of quirks, nobody but Jet could master this peaky ride.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite game |dev1=[[Sonic Team]] |dev2=CRI Middleware |date=22 February 2008 |game=Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity |system=PlayStation 2 |pub=[[Sega]] |quote='''Type-J's profile''': Wave rebuilt this gear for Jet from the ground up. It uses a peaky tuning only Jet can properly control.}}</ref>

Jet also wields a pair of large fans called the [[Bashōsen]]s which he uses with great proficiency. With one fan, Jet can release powerful wind currents to blow opponents off course and disorientate them. He can also use both fans in melee combat, either smacking his opponents or spinning then around to knock away anyone that gets too close to him.<ref name="StHAnnual2019s12" />
