I like the Raider class. It may be unpopular but I like it.
First and foremost, give the Rider squad the ability to spawn on the ground like normal infantry. Transport and Paratroopers can. Sometimes you want or need to get straight into the battle instead of driving the clunky motorcycle
Add more motorcycles. Just to name a few
R75 with MG 42
KS 750 with MG 42
TIZ AM-600
Italian Rider
Second, add Rider II with cars. There have been many debates about the future vehicles of Riders. I think it’s best to take a simple step up by giving them cars. To name just a few
Jeep
Vickers K Jeep for Britain
Kubelwagen
Schwimmwagen
Type 95 Kurogane

I’d only use the Rider class if it were moved to level one. This would effect no one who currently uses it in level two since the Motorcycle would be level one, but you can still use what ever level you want for weapons. However since there are no APC options at level one and the Rider class is not popular, drop it’s level and I think the usage would increase.
The only thing I can think of are the Stalin Tractor Plant STZ-5 tractor, but they at most towed artillery and had a rocket launcher configuration.
We do have a working one you can drive around the stalingrad tractor plant map though.

As a start they can get a lend lease jeep
That would be regular “tank”, not a Rider vehicle
I wouldn’t be so sure. We have vehicles like the LVT that are a “tank” in some configurations and APCs in others.
Yes, the LVT in its standard configuration is an infantry transport but the A1 and A4 are combat vehicles. That means they acted as a tank
I do think the tractor should be given to the Soviets as a Transport vehicle, but the rocket variant would be a regular combat vehicle
(The tank slot is more of a combat vehicle slot since it encompasses AA, tank destroyers, self propelled guns, etc not just true tanks)
