History
After Kamen Rider 2 seemingly killed Shocker Rider Number 1, Shocker Rider Number 2 infiltrated the Rider Squad base with Eidokugar. They proceed to kidnap the children and women left in the base.
Hongo returns, and transformed into Kamen Rider, faces Eidokugar and Shocker Rider 2, but he's knocked out by Shocker Rider 2 and the hostages are taken away. Soon afterwards, Ichimonji, Taki and Tachibana find a wounded Hongo. General Black contacts them, using the hostages to obtain the computer data in the hands of the Anti-Shocker Alliance. Seichiro Komura refuses to handle the data to them, saying that they need to look at the bigger picture, but Ishigami Chie gives them the suitcase with the data device, asking them to carry on the revenge for her mother.

In addition to the Shocker Riders, more combatants appear, and the Shocker Riders show their own unique abilities, like a micro-missile barrage. While the fight goes on, Tachibana acts and rescues the hostages. Seichiro Komura returns and uses a gas weapon to allow the Riders to escape. Nonetheless, the Gel-Shocker's true plan succeeded with the Double Riders and their allies, the Anti-Shocker Union members held in a trap.
Komura reappears, holding Chie as a hostage, and reveals the real Komura is dead, and he's actually Namekujikinoko. Taki rescues Chie and the Riders start their counterattack. The 2 Riders are surrounded by the Shocker Riders, and, although they can beat them individually, as a group the Shocker Riders still are stronger. However, they use the Rider Wheel - running in circles and jumping to create a destructive force that pushed the Shocker Riders against each other, exploding them.
In other media
The Shocker Riders have also appeared in media outside of the TV show, such as the original Kamen Rider manga, the S.I.C. Hero Saga story Missing Link, and the reboot movie Kamen Rider The First. The manga had the Shocker Riders numbering at twelve rather than six, and Missing Link honored that original count, while Kamen Rider The First used the count seen in the TV series.

Like most Shocker Riders, Shocker Rider Number 2 possess an exact strength and power that similarly matched that of Kamen Rider 1. The original Kamen Rider manga gives an in-depth analysis of the entire schematics used by Rider 1, Rider 2, and the manga Shocker Riders. Among them are:
- Ultrasensitive Antenna : Sense the presence of enemies and incoming attacks
- Cat's Eye : Allows infrared night vision
- Signal O : A brainwave transmission device that can detect other cyborgs
- Crusher : The face plate that can break chains
- Artificial Lungs : Can recycle oxygen for two hours
- Pulmonary Converter : Catches wind power to convert it to energy, also acts as a radiator
- Power Converter : Capsules on the belt that store energy
- Typhoon : Transformation belt which is an anemometer which measures the Rider's energy
- Artificial Muscle : Gives the Rider the strength to jump like a giant grasshopper
- Jump Shoes : The soles are elastic-like springs
- Voice Mimicry : Shocker Riders can disguise their voices to match that of Rider 1
- Micro Missile Launcher : Hidden missile launchers in fingers that can fire small missiles
- Typhoon : Transformation belt
- Retractable Blades : Hidden blades underneath his boots that can be remove as handheld daggers. So far, only Number 1 demonstrate this though all Shocker Riders were likely to have similar aspects and traits.
