You manage to finally get within a close distance to the getaway van. You accelerate a little closer, before one of the robbers leans out of the window with a loaded crossbow, firing back at you. You guess they know you're chasing them. You squeeze your brake softly, letting you jerk back and dodge the crossbow bolt easily, and decide to hang just behind the van in its blind spot. You make sure not to keep too close as to slam into them if they suddenly stop, but this is the best way to follow them until you get them to stop.
...You suppose you didn't think this far ahead. How are you going to actually stop the van? Your motorcycle is too small to force them off the road. You also have another concern regarding fuel. While your biodiseal fuel has a lot of advantages over the electric vehicles of the city, letting you take it anywhere and having the explosive power of a combustion engine, the electric getaway van could basically keep running forever until the driver is too exhausted to continue or it experiences a mechanical failure. Or, you suppose, the city just turns off power to this part of it, but you don't know of a time that's ever happened, ever. While your tank is still mostly filled and yo have plenty back home, you do need at least some to return and can't keep going forever. You suppose if the getaway van just kept driving, eventually you'd have to stop following them. But you don't think they would know that...
Secondly, you don't know where they are headed. You assume the criminals have a drop off location for the money; if you simply follow them until they stop, you could be led right into an ambush. While uncommon, the criminals could have some kind of cell phone or other device to let their comrades know you're coming. It would be best then in both cases to simply force the van to stop. But how?
>Throw a bola under the van to wrap around and disable its main axle or driveshaft
>Bust open a window and throw in a stun grenade to make them crash
>Jump onto the van and take control of the cabin through force (abandons bike)
