How to make movement for a custom character?

I’m working on a beyblade game which lets the player control their bey and I don’t have much experience working with changing the player’s character and stuff so I wanted to know what’s a good way to go about doing movement?

Currently I’m just using a body gyro, body angular velocity and body velocity I assume I probably don’t need to be using all 3 of these, but yeah. Here’s the code I have for it.

	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		--LaunchBey:FireServer(player)
		if not beyLaunched then
			bey = beys:FindFirstChild("StormPegasus"):Clone()
			bey.Root.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(3,0,0)
			bey.Parent = game.workspace.PlayerBeys
			bey.Name = (player.Name.."s Beyblade")

			--keeps the bey up (I think?)
			local BG = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
			BG.Parent = bey.Root

			--spin
			local BAV = Instance.new("BodyAngularVelocity")
			BAV.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new(0,-25,0)
			BAV.Parent = bey.Root

			--movement 
			local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
			BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1000000, 0, 1000000)
			local speed = 30
			RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
				local moveDir = bey.Humanoid.MoveDirection
				BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(moveDir.X,height,moveDir.Z) * speed
			end)
			BV.Parent = bey.Root

			player.Character = bey

			camera.CameraSubject = bey.Root

			beyLaunched = true		
		end
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		if (bey) and (bey.Root:FindFirstChild("BodyVelocity")) then
			local maxForce = bey.Root.BodyVelocity.MaxForce
			height = 20
			bey.Root.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(maxForce.X,600,maxForce.Z)
			task.wait(0.5)
			bey.Root.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(maxForce.X,0,maxForce.Z)
		end
	end
