The is the transformation belt for the Genesis Armored Riders. It utilizes powerful artificial Lockseeds known as . Unlike the Sengoku Driver, the Genesis Drivers are not user-locked to its first user and the Genetic Ride Wear undersuits are programmed within the Energy Lockseeds rather than onto the Driver itself.
Unlike Sengoku Drivers, the Genesis Drivers have a built-in self destruct mechanism. This was to prevent anyone who owned a Genesis Driver to betray and attack Ryoma Sengoku while armed. He likely didn't feel that this was a need for the Sengoku Drivers due to them being weaker than Genesis Drivers.
==Design==
The Genesis Driver is composed of the following parts:
* - The handle. Pressing it into the Genesis Driver releases the Energy Lockseed's power and allows for transformation and deathblows.
* - A connecting terminal where Energy Lockseeds are inserted. Because plans to mass-produce the Sengoku Driver ran parallel to the Genesis Driver's production, it can be removed and attached to the Sengoku Driver.
* - A straw-like pipe that runs from the main body to the Concentrate Pod. It sends energy extracted from an inserted Energy Lockseed to the Concentrate Pod.
* - The clear cup-shaped energy pod located towards the bottom. It stores and stabilises any liquified energy extracted from an Energy Lockseed.
* - A switch that releases the Genesis Driver from the user. Located on the right top section.
==Functionality==
Like the Sengoku Driver, the Genesis Driver is usually only in its buckle form. If the user wants to use the belt, all they have to do is place it on their waist and a strap will automatically wrap around their body, fastening the belt.
The Genesis Driver possesses a self-destruct mechanism as a failsafe to prevent unwanted users from using the Genesis Driver. However, their Genesis Core Units remain functional as an independent unit and can be used as an extension of the Sengoku Drivers.
To transform, the user opens the lock on the Energy Lockseed, which causes a dimensional opening into the Helheim Forest to materialize above them and an Armor Part that corresponds to the Energy Lockseed used to appear from it. Afterwards, the user attaches the Energy Lockseed onto the belt's and closes the lock. Finally, the user pushes the  juicer in, which extracts the juice from the Energy Lockseed itself through the and into the glass-like at the bottom, causing the Armor Part to fall on top of the user's head and the Driver to announce the Arms granted, along with its corresponding music (or in the Lemon Energy and Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed's case, its corresponding phrase).
When the Seaboll Compressor is pushed in between one and two times, a Rider can activate a certain ability.
*Once: The function can either power up a Rider's Sonic Arrow for a Rider Slash or trigger an alternate finishing attack.
*Twice: The function can either enhance a Rider's finishing attack to its full potential, allowing the user to initiate a Rider Kick when infused with the fruit-shaped/nut-shaped energy of their Arms, or temporarily convert the user's Armor Part into its original fruit/nut form to spin and use as a shield.

==Genesis Core Unit==
The central piece of the Genesis Driver is its . As the Genesis Driver itself is the technological successor to the Sengoku Driver, the core unit can accept both normal and Energy Lockseeds. 
The Genesis Core Unit can be used alongside the Sengoku Driver by removing its Rider Indicator and attaching the unit in its place. Initially deemed as a reject prototype and failure, this configuration yields unexpected results, granting performance extremely similar to the standard Genesis Driver. Aside from this, it grants varying special abilities exclusive only to this configuration, which is sacrificed in the standard Genesis Driver for higher raw performance.
Esthetically, it grants the transformed Rider a jinbaori-themed Jimber Armor Part, which contains a mixture of the two Lockseeds that make it up.
The known types of Genesis Core Units:
*Prototype Genesis Core Units that were used for testing. Kugai Kudo managed to obtain one through unknown means. Kouta Kazuraba managed to obtain one, named the Core Slot and was noted to be weaker and a rejected prototype that was locked away.
*Standard Genesis Core Units that come from the Genesis Drivers. These can be taken out and used in Sengoku Drivers with no known compatibility issues. Zack obtained one from Kaito's Genesis Driver, which he used in .

Zack	Kamen Rider Knuckle	Knuckle Gaiden 	N/A 	Genesis Core Unit only. Taken from Kaito's Genesis Driver by Peko, Zack uses it in conjunction with the Marron Energy Lockseed.
It is presumed to be stronger than Saver's Genesis Core Unit and the rejected, weaker "Core Slot" that Kouta Kazuraba used.

==Behind the Scenes==
=== Portrayal ===
The voice of the Genesis Driver, as well as the Sonic Arrow and the Energy Lockseeds, is provided by , who is known for his role as Sieg in Kamen Rider Den-O. Amusingly enough, one of Miki's most iconic roles is Lockon Stratos (codename for both Dylandy twins) from Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
==Notes==
*Unlike standard Lockseeds which are simply based on fruits, Energy Lockseeds are also based on the fruit's juices, as evidenced by the "Energy" part of the Lockseed and the "SODA" transformation announcement. Another version of the "SODA" announcement is later used in future releases of Gaim-related media.
*Coincidentally, all the Energy Lock Seeds shown in the TV show are flavors of Soda. This makes the phrase a double wordplay pun on , a phrase used to confirm understanding or agreement on something and the English word , a term for soda pop or cola beverages.
**When Peko uses a Genesis Driver in conjunction with a Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed, the Driver instead declares "LIQUID", possibly due to the fact juice cannot be extracted from pinecones. It should be noted that the Deluxe Genesis Driver toy also announces "LIQUID" whenever a non-Energy Lockseed is used with it.
*Unlike the Sengoku Driver, Genesis Drivers don't have Rider Indicators nor do they possess the DNA-lock mechanism. The Genetic Ride Wear is also programmed into the Energy Lockseed.
*For whatever reason, Genesis Drivers also lack an Au Lait function.
**Given the Soda-theme of Genesis Drivers, it can be presumed the Au Lait function was excluded on account of how soda is rarely if ever enjoyed with milk, "au lait" being French for "with milk".
*The CSM set for Gaim has shown that the Driver's Genesis Core can be modified so any sound configuration when activating a Lockseed transformation or finisher in the Driver could be used besides the ones used by Gaim.
