NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents and
children alike will have the opportunity to race off into the
wheeling world of Ricky Zoom, the brand-new CGI-animated
action-adventure series premiering Monday,
Sept. 9, on Nickelodeon. Hailing from Entertainment One
(eOne), the studio behind global phenomenon Peppa Pig and
hit show PJ Masks, the new preschool series follows Ricky, a
little red rescue bike, and his loyal Bike Buddies as they zoom
around their Wheelford community helping others, trying out new
stunts, and learning to stand on their own two wheels. Ricky
Zoom, which consists of 26 half-hour episodes, will air
weekdays at 12:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on
Nickelodeon.
In the series premiere, "Flat Out Awesome/Ricky's Rescue
Coaching Badge," Loop gets a flat tire and Ricky and the Bike
Buddies must work together to make sure he doesn't miss the Steel
Awesome stunt show. Then, Ricky is eager to get his rescue
badge.
Meet the Bike Buddies along for the ride:
- Ricky Zoom – A little rescue bike that loves to go fast,
Ricky is a loyal friend and natural leader of the Bike
Buddies.
- Loop Hoopla – An adventurous dirt bike with a
happy-go-lucky attitude, Loop loves having fun and trying crazy new
stunts.
- Scootio Wizzbang – Scootio is bright, brainy and never
afraid to speak her mind. She loves using her technical genius and
gadgets to solve problems.
- DJ Rumbler – DJ has a huge heart and would do anything
for his friends. He also has a super toolbox and a robotic arm, so
there is nothing he cannot build—or knock down.
Developed by Emmy Award-winning creator Alexander Bar and production house Frog Box,
Ricky Zoom highlights the importance of friendship,
resourcefulness, community and teamwork. Celebrating differences is
one of many zoomtastic themes within the series.
The official Ricky Zoom app, Welcome to Wheelford,
is available today for free on iOS and Android platforms. Featuring
fun mini-games and interactive playgrounds for kids to zoom into
adventure and explore the world of Wheelford, the app allows
audiences the ability to engage with the Bike Buddies on and off
the screen, in addition to active social channels.
