Zip Zip

The Rapide (Zip Zip in North America) is a bike in Mario Kart Wii that can only be used by middle-weight characters.

The Zip Zip has a great off-road, which lets it take off-road shortcuts without any problems. However, unlike the Turbo Blooper and Dolphin Dasher, it's slower than the Standard Kart M and Standard Bike M, but has a slightly better mini-turbo than the standard vehicles as well. Additionally, its weight and drifting are rather low.

This bike does not have a kart counterpart for the medium size class. However, its stats are similar to that of the large bike, the Phantom.

The Zip Zip can be unlocked by beating the 100cc Lightning Cup.
