I took the Ruckus for a spin/beer run a few minutes ago.
For the losers that don't know what a Ruckus is:
As I approach the gas station I find a group of kids and their bicycles. I says "What's up fellas?" And one of them asks if I can wheelie the Ruckus. I tell him that I cannot, but he's more than welcome to try and hand him the key.
He is dumb founded of course because I'm sure his parents are f a g g o t s. I tell him "Take if for a spin. It's just a scooter." Their eyes collectively light up and I go inside.
I come back out and these fugking idiots couldn't even get the thing started. I show them how to get it done and again their eyes light up. At this point I can't deny the poor fugkers an opportunity so I let them take turns spinning the Ruckus around the gas station. They couldn't be more happy.
Around the third kid I see a bleeder approach (masked up of course) and she says "Maybe not the best place to let kids ride that thing." I said "Yeah, I'll make a note of it thanks."
All the boys busted up laughing and we all said "Karen" in unison. LOL

Lots of people are saying the country is dead (including me). This post proves that wrong. THIS IS AMERICA.
Ruckus' are seriously cool. Those kids will tell that story to all their buds. At one time I had a Big Ruckus. Got my wife a Honda ADV 150 for Christmas. That bike is very refined. You should have offered Karen a beer.
Fat hog was in a short line in the middle of the three of the 15 Items cashiers in the local HEB today. I got in the very short line at the first cashier i got to.
She says, the line starts here. You need to come over here and get in line behind me. I suppose the idea being she goes to the cashier of the three that can take her first.
Miffed me a bit and thats when I remembered Bro Col Travis. Humm, WWTD? I thot a bit and said, "You need to get on a diet."

A couple years ago, the Ruckuses (Rucki?) were everywhere at UNH. I worked a bunch of road-work gigs and the damn things were everywhere. It was just prior to classes starting and the various teams were already on campus. Looked back at one point and two BIG football guys were riding one together to get to practice. I don't know that I've ever laughed that hard

They might be the most practical scoot ever assembled.

For a long time.
While their drinkin' 40's in front of the same gas station in 20 years.
"Remember that time the dude let us ride his Ruckus? And that Karen came along? That Dude was Cool!"
Funny stuff right there...Maybe "She" would prefer them boys sitting at home playing video games...Bicycles, scooters, quads, dirt bikes, motorcycles, fast cars and trucks...seems like a natural progression.IMO

It's a pretty darn refined scooter. Being a 150 it has enough oomph left on 35 mile per hour roads to throttle out of trouble. It'll do fine on 55 MPH roads but doesn't have the nuts for the interstate. She has a LONG way to go in training. I want to get her a little more wheel time before I get her into a class.

Ya know, you could have escalated to a whole new level of Karen outrage if you'd broken open the 12 pack and passed out beer at that point.
My 17 year old 650 Burgman has developed a problem with its charging system and has been down for a year. I think it's probably the rectifier. I need to dig into it and see if I can get it back on the road.

I can't tell if that's your wife or daughter but one of the reasons I got the Ruckus is that it doesn't require a bike endorsement since it's only 49cc's.
You are supposed to have a driver's license but my daughter looks old enough so it's never been a problem.
My wife takes it every now and again and my youngest and I can fit on the banana seat. If I take it she says she's going with me on a "Ruckus Run."

I don't know. But when you tell them to fugk off they sure get butt hurt. I've been doing it for almost 18 years now. Had to do it again yesterday. I don't understand why anyone would try and speak to some kid they don't know.

They really are fun. I can have a good time on just about anything on two wheels.

In my town they could issue a dui for operating the little stand up foot scooters under the influence. I don’t know if they are even still rentable, I think the liability of public rental may have put the brakes on them... (pun intended)
I just figure that she looked at the vehicle, accurately assessed that only a person with a micro penis would drive that around town, and figured that she could assert her dominance.

In all fairness, it may be short, but it's a stiff shaft !
Buddy bought a GROM a year or so ago. The thing is a blast. Not quite the smiles for everyone 9-90 machine the Ruckus is, but is a fun little bike none the less.

It’s wheeled and motorized so most municipalities can definitely hook you up.
In San Diego I got one up to 20mph going down a big hill. I would imagine my fat ass could have put a serious dent in somebody’s BMW.

I have come close more than once. The Monkey’s are cool also.
Dealer says they sell like crazy. Awful lot of cool bikes these days.

The Super Cups and Trail 125s are enjoying good popularity as well. Honda knocked it out of the park with that 125 platform. The ADV 150 Scooter is presently selling for more than MSRP and dealers are selling them quickly. I suspect demand will tail off once the initial surge has passed. I got lucky and got Laurie's as a used 2021 with 1500 miles on it. I scored it for $2700. I couldn't have got her a brand new 50 for that after dealer fees, set-up, etc.

That is a smoking deal.
I don’t even want one and I’d have bought it.
What have you had it up to?
64 is tops. It pulls pretty enthusiastically into the low 50s then starts tailing off. I also bought a Yamaha SMax 155 so that we could ride together. It's a 2015 with 950 miles. I paid 1700 for it. The Smax has more balls and tops out at 76, but the Honda is far superior in every other way.

That's a pretty cool Flavemobile.
Momma has difficulty (64 years and artificial hip) straddling my Suzuki 500 ATV.
So I looked up the Ruckus, as a thought for her to get 100 yds to the daughter's house.
$3k ouch. She needs the exercise anyway. We will walk up.
Is it pretty light? Can you load it in a pickup easily?
It weighs 294. It's not too difficult to unload out of the bed, but it is a bit of a challenge to get into the bed unless I can take advantage of an incline to reduce the angle. I am exploring those hitch mounted motorcycle carriers. That way I could put two kayaks on the ladder rack, two bicycles in the bed and the scooter on the carrier. We are going to take a vacation to Weeki Wachee Springs in April, so I'll have my load plan figured out by then. This thing isn't like the Ruckus. If the Ruckus falls over there's really not much to scratch or break. This ADV 150 is loaded with plastic. Dropping it off a ramp could be expensive.

Buy one of the Harbor Frieght ramps.
They are as wide as the tail gate. Just drive it straight up.

I got the hitch mounted carrier with the longest ramp I could find at the time. Your little scooter probably don't have all that much clearance so be sure and get a long ramped one.
I've loaded my DR200 Susuki by myself probably 25 or 30 times now and haven't scratched it yet. I've had everything that could go wrong happen, I walk along side of the bike and power it up the ramp, it's funky when it's wet.
You gotta throw the power to it to trip the front tire chock, gotta have one with the locking tire chock. Once the tire drops into the locking chock it holds it's own well enough to tie down, absolute must have feature. Problem with my bike is it's just long enough that the rear tire is at the very top of the ramp exactly when the front tire is climbing the chock, that can be a little tricky, I've had the ramp spit out at the last minute while I was powering over the pivoting chock. that's a really fun problem to correct by yourself.
Finding that helpful grade for loading isn't so hard to do. Get lucky and you can even find enough grade to load it "down hill", that's really cool until the back tire misses the ramp and your pushing it backwards uphill to realign.
All things said, the bike and I have survived every loading attempt unharmed.
If I had to start over, I'd buy the carrier I have now again. My 1 1/2 ton RV might sit a bit higher than your truck but I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to enjoy similar experiences as I with your carrier.

I still want to see a picture the complementary fat chick that comes with every moped...
Kent
You've got it crossed up. Fat chick/moped comparison. Riding a moped is like banging a fat chick. It's a lot of fun but you wouldn't want your friends catch you doing it.
I had a Yamaha Zuma for a couple years. I used it as a pit bike when my kids were in band going to tournaments. I was surprised at how many women and a few young girls wanted a ride. It seemed like a lot of color guard moms at the time. I had to pass.
Ruckuses are high dollar around here. I think they are pretty cool.
Karens, a friend has a bar, her son in law manages it. They are serving out side and get lots of complaints during the day as Karens drive by and see people in the back. I guess he got called by the ABC and told he would be fined $500 if he didn't stop. He called BS and said he wouldn't send employees home at Christmas and where does he send the check. I know for sure 3 restaurants in town serving outside. They say they are having a peaceful protest and all are welcome.

I know the newer ones are 125's now. Not sure that, that makes much sense.

Yeah, that was the 50cc Zuma. It had pretty good zip for a 50.
