Why are some vehicles so comically small?

Okay. If you had an extremely short and thin individual, you might be able to get him into a Yalmaha. There is no way you could fit any breed into a Mid or a Kodaik.
A Mid is the size of a Probe. Not a Ford Probe, a hostile, shoot lasers at you Probe. Maybe, if your head was small enough, you could wear it as a big, clunky hat.
A player Kodaik is scarcely bigger than a foot. Whenever you see an unoccupied version of one of these vehicles, it is much, much larger than when you get into yours.
For example, SOMEWHERE in Tir, there is a docked Yalmaha. This thing is Mount Rushmore compared to my Yalmaha.
If you drive a Kodaik instead, there is some sort of encampment either just north east or just south west of the head of Crater Lake. There is a whole fleet of Kodaiks overlooking a cliff, and again, they dwarf a regular Kodaik.
As for Mids, I understand how weird giant Probes zooming around would look. Perhaps a different (sprite?) graphic should be used for them.
Now, what puzzles me is that Mechs don't get this treatment at all. Will Jetbikes and Hoverboards be of realistic size, or will your character turn into a gnome whenever they use them?
