Description

The Beginner appeared once again in Sonic Free Riders. According to its profile, the Beginner is equipped with a safety device that makes it an easier ride to handle, especially for rookie Extreme Gear riders. It is unlocked after completing the basic tutorials.

In Sonic Free Riders, the Beginner's design returned to having a more board-like shape, along with having metal blue accents on the side of its corners and silver-colored circles and striations on its top surface, while otherwise retaining its green color scheme and trademark yellow stripe.

Abilities and traits

As a Board type Extreme Gear in Sonic Free Riders, the Beginner is well-balanced in its attributes with average statistics and is suited for general riding.

In this game, the Beginner's stats have been greatly reduced in comparison to those it had in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, making them on the same level as the average Extreme Gears.
