Warframe introduced hoverboards during their second open world update, like TFD is going to introduce bikes.
You could put mods in the K-Drive to make it go faster, you can buy K-Drives in the store for real money, and you can't affect them warframe abilities because then you could cheat in warframe races and you wouldn't be incentivised to buy the mods for real money. There were also mods that gave you bonuses when doing tricks, like kicking your board into enemies to knock them down on dismount of doing restoring energy after doing sick backflips.
You couldn't use the hoverboard in normal missions though, until they released Yareli whose kit revolved around it. Like every other frame she's unable to be affected by abilities, but her's is the only board that can't be modded because then you wouldn't have an incentive to buy hoverboards. She also didn't have any integration with the trick system with her kit. In fact, as of now I'm pretty sure she is literally the only frame with exalted (summonable) equipment that *can't* be modded.
They did introduce not one but two augments (basically transcendant mods) for her board, but none of them made her go fast, gave her trick integration, gave her bonuses on mount and dismount, anything actually K-Drive related. Instead, the first one just upped her defences and fire rate while shooting from the board and the second one took Yareli off the board entirely.
So TL;DR, Yareli's special summonable open-world vehicle specifically and K-drives in general were NEVER allowed to be good for like 5 years because Warframe's Dev's were greedy assholes, so I'm really happy that these bikes are getting a chance from the get go.
