The rift rider is vehicle intended for time travel discovered by Jak and Daxter atop the dark eco silo at Gol and Maia's citadel towards the end of The Precursor Legacy. At the time it was not yet visible to the players however, as the opened door only showed a bright light. It is then fully shown in the introduction scene in Jak II, where Jak and Daxter, as well as Samos Hagai and his daughter Keira Hagai, all prepare to travel through the rift gate which was found together with the rift rider. Also found were the time map and Heart of Mar, the latter of which functioned as the "start" button for the entire set-up.
