Punk Rider: the whole platform, with one motor
The Rider and the Rider Pro are the same machine. Same frame, same hydraulic brakes, same self-healing tires, same suspension, same lighting, same folded size. The Pro adds a second motor. Everything structural, you get either way — so the choice between them comes down to power alone.

What you get either way, and what the second motor adds
With most pairs like this, the cheaper one quietly loses hardware along the way. Not here — the specification sheets are identical everywhere except the drivetrain, so the choice is genuinely just about power.
Identical on both
- Dual hydraulic disc brakes with regen
- 10 x 3 in self-healing tubeless tires
- Front and rear rubber suspension cartridges
- 6061 aerospace-grade aluminium and high-strength steel frame
- Headlight, taillight and 360° ambient lighting
- LED display with speed, battery and mode
- IPX6 water resistance
- 9-hour charge and the same 1272 x 1320 x 670 mm footprint
The Rider Pro adds
- 32 mph in place of 24
- 20° incline in place of 10°
- 45 miles in Eco in place of 40
- 260 lb load rating in place of 220
- 40A controller in place of 25A
- 52V 18Ah pack in place of 48V 18Ah
- 69 lbs on the scales in place of 59
If your route is flat and your commute is under fifteen miles each way, the Rider does the job on a lighter machine. If there are real hills in it, the Rider Pro is worth the extra two hundred. Ride both at one of our shops and it settles in about five minutes.
Three speeds, three distances
All three from the same 48V 18Ah pack. Punk publish the speed each figure was measured at, which is the only way a range number tells you anything useful.
Hydraulic discs at both ends
Hydraulic brakes on a $799 machine are not a given, and they are the specification that most changes how the Rider feels to ride in traffic. The same finger pressure gives the same bite every time, including on the tenth stop of a ride.
Regenerative braking works with them, doing the gentle slowing you spend most of a commute doing — which takes the work off the pads and puts a little back into the pack.
- Dual hydraulic disc brakes
- Regenerative braking alongside
- 25A sine wave controller
Punctures that close themselves
10 by 3 inch tubeless tires with sealant inside. A nail or a shard of glass gets sealed as it goes in, and you usually find out about it when you next check the pressures rather than at the side of the road.
On a machine bought to get someone to work on time, that specification is worth more than most of the numbers above it.
- 10 x 3 inch self-healing tubeless tires
- Front and rear rubber suspension cartridges
- 220 lb load rating
Lit on four sides, not two
A headlight and a taillight are the legal minimum and they only help the traffic directly in front of and behind you. The Rider adds ambient strips down both sides of the deck, so a car pulling out of a side street sees you side-on.
The LED screen sits in the middle of the bar with the controls either side — speed, battery and mode, readable without taking a hand off.
- Headlight, taillight and 360° ambient lighting
- LED display with speed, battery and mode
- IPX6 water resistance
Fifty-nine pounds, and a stem that drops
The Rider is the lighter of the two by ten pounds, which is the margin that decides whether a machine goes into a car boot without a second thought. The stem folds down for it.
The frame underneath is 6061 aerospace-grade aluminium reinforced with high-strength steel — the same one the Pro uses, so the weight saving is in the drivetrain rather than the structure.
- 59 lbs (26.8 kg)
- 1272 x 1320 x 670 mm unfolded, and the stem folds down
- 6061 aluminium with high-strength steel
Room to stand properly
Seen from above, the deck is the part worth noticing — long enough to put your feet one behind the other rather than crowded together, which is what makes a forty-minute ride comfortable. Come and stand on one; it tells you more in ten seconds than any dimension does.

Ride the Rider and the Pro back to back
Both on the same floor
The two machines are two hundred dollars apart and feel different the moment you pull away. Trying them together is the fastest way to know which one you want.
Serviced in the shop
Hydraulic brakes and a 48V pack looked after by our technicians — any brand, any issue, including machines bought elsewhere.
Backed and financed
One-year warranty as a carried brand, and financing if you would rather spread the cost.
