Gen 2 moves the Ripster to a slimmer 20 × 2″ rim and a 2.6″ Sticky Sweet tire, the same narrower setup used on the Ultra Urban. The change takes weight out of the wheels, makes the bike quicker to turn and flick through traffic, and opens it up to a much wider range of aftermarket BMX tires. Gen 1 bikes use 3″ rims with 3.2″ tires for a wider, softer footprint.

THRILLMATIC Power

THRILLMATIC Power

The Ripster runs the same 52V THRILLMATIC motor as the Ultra Urban: 750W rated, with metal-reinforced planetary gears built to handle repeated hard launches. It pairs with a 52V 15Ah pack built on LG M50LT 21700 cells, which mounts on a co-molded metal plate with a spring-loaded locking pin. Control it with the throttle, or pedal with cadence-based assist.

Built From Chromoly

Built From Chromoly

The frame, fork and 9.5″ bars are all TIG-welded 4130 chromoly steel on Zooz’s patented Ultra Ripster frameset. Chromoly is the material BMX riders have trusted for decades because it flexes and absorbs impacts instead of cracking, and it can be repaired by any competent welder. It is the reason the Ripster feels planted at speed despite its compact size.

FAQ

What changed between Gen 1 and Gen 2?

The wheels and tires. Gen 1 runs 3″ wide rims with 20 × 3.2″ tires. Gen 2 switches to 20 × 2″ rims with 2.6″ tires, the same narrower setup as the Ultra Urban, for a lighter, more nimble BMX feel and a wider choice of aftermarket tires. The motor, battery, chromoly frame and hydraulic brakes are the same. Each color option on this page shows which generation it is.

How fast does the Ultra Ripster go?

The Ultra Ripster is a Class 2 e-bike with a 20 mph top speed. Actual speed varies with terrain, rider weight and riding style.

What range should I expect?

Zooz estimates 20 to 30 miles on throttle alone from the 52V 15Ah battery. Pedaling extends that, while hills, heavier loads, cold weather, low tire pressure and higher speeds pull it toward the low end. A full charge takes about 5 hours.

Will the Ultra Ripster fit me?

Zooz recommends it for riders 5′2″ and up. The seat height is 28.5″ and the load capacity is 300 lbs. It was designed with smaller riders in mind, but the tall 9.5″ bars give larger riders a comfortable position too.

Do you service Zooz bikes in-house?

Yes. Warranty work, brake service, tire swaps and diagnostics are handled at our Chelsea location, with techs on site seven days a week and walk-ins welcome. Tires and brake pads are the main wear items, and Zooz keeps replacement parts well stocked.
