Toot Zoom (voiced by Frances White) is a little lavender motorcycle with blue eyes, and Ricky's younger sister. Sweet yet sassy, Toot is always eager to get in on some fun with the Bike Buddies whenever she can – though her habit of recounting embarrassing tales and titbits about Ricky means that although he adores her, he can be resistant to having her around! They think of her rather like an extra set of wheels: nice to have around when you need them, but whoever heard of a bike with four wheels?! However, though smaller than the other buddies, Toot is impossible to ignore – and often ends up stealing the show!

Hank Zoom is a red adult motorcycle with blue eyes who is Ricky and Toot's father. He has a special job as a rescue bike which Ricky wants to be when he grows up.

Helen Zoom is an orange adult motorcycle with green eyes who is Ricky and Toot's mother. She had a past life as the Wheelford Wheeler, a bike who rescues those in need and vanishes before anyone found out who she was.

Dasher Zoom is a Lightblue pre-teenage motorcycle with green eyes which is Ricky and Toot's cousin and Hank and Helen's nephew, he loves racing.

Steel Awesome is a superhero that Ricky idolizes. Movie star, comic-book hero and huge celebrity, stunt bike Steel Awesome has packs of adoring fans... including himself! Bold, brave and handsome (and doesn't he know it!), he loves doing his own extravagant movie stunts. Though he can be who absurdly over-the-top, Steel is the epitome of what an action bike can be, and Ricky idolises him for it. Ricky dreams of becoming his sidekick, Vroom Boy, so that Steel will teach him all he knows about being a daring and courageous bike. He speaks with an American accent.

Maxwell is a bike who runs the garage. Good-natured Maxwell and his Service Station are at the heart of the community, providing everything a bike needs along with the latest Wheelford news and gossip, as well as plenty of tales of the good ol’ days! A trusted and valued member of the community, Maxwell is also leader of Ramp Camp, the outdoor club that all the Buddies love being a part of, and he enjoys using his experience of the world to help the Buddies learn and grow.

Blip Hoopla is Loop's big brother, 13-year-old Blip will deliver just about anything, to anyone, anywhere – but he still has a lot to learn about being a good delivery bike. He seems to have a knack for losing things and, though he tries very hard to be careful, something always seems to upset his deliveries. He sometimes feels that the whole universe is against him.

Don Hoopla is Blip and Loop's single father is Wheelford's resident mail carrier who takes great pride in making sure every parcel is delivered safely to its rightful owner. A skilled off-road bike like Loop, he delivers the mail come rain, shine, or snow! Don also delivers pizzas in addition to the mail, and always carries pictures of Loop and Blip with him.

He has committed each and every last rule of the Wheelford Highway Code to heart and patrols its highways and byways ensuring that bikes, both young and old, abide by the rules to ensure the safety of the townsfolk. But behind his strict exterior lies a heart of gold. He's really just a big softy who particularly loves the Bike Buddies, seeing a lot of himself as a young bike in them. He'd love to impart the lessons he's learned since he took off his training wheels — if only they would stay still long enough to listen! He is the only bike that can get out of a pothole on his own. He speaks with a Welsh accent.

Buster Bunker (voiced by Edward Molony) is Officer Bunker's grandson and Toot's best friend.

Mrs. Bikely is an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher, Mrs. Bikely is committed to helping her students grow up to be the best bikes they can be. Her spirited and fun lessons and projects help the Bike Buddies develop their initiative, imagination, and independence. She also has a not-so-secret crush on Steel Awesome. Though she is referred to as a "Mrs.", it is unknown if she has ever been married.
