Here are five reasons that you should buy a Honda Ruckus. For those not in the know, the Honda Ruckus is a 49cc scooter or moped that, in most states, does not require a special license to drive. This means that they hold their value well, just like every other Honda product, and they are known for their reliability.
There are Ruckus owners anywhere between 5, to 20, miles currently on their Ruckus scooters without any major mechanical issues aside routine maintenance. Which means having to change a belt, the tires, the oil, and maybe a headlight bulb every now and then.
Give it a full tune-up. Outside of that, there are aftermarket companies that offer some upgrades. The kit looks to include a new exhaust system, a new carburetor, a new high-flow air filter, and a larger fuel line.
There also appears to be a new computer system that assumingly adjusts spark timing and fuel delivery. All images featured on this website are copyrighted to their respective rightful owners.

For storage, the Ruckus has plenty of places to bungee what you want to carry or you can hit the aftermarket for panels to enclose the space under the seat.
Ten-inch rims, yeah, but really fat tires with t have a dual-surface design that incorporates deep grooves for soft surfaces and large street flats for pavement work. Front Suspension: Twin-downtube fork; 1. Rear Suspension: Single shock; 2. Front Brake: Drum. Rear Brake: Drum. Honda slapped a good ol' kickstart lever on the engine for a practical backup as well as some extra 'cool' factor.
Engine: Liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine. Automatic Transmission Gears: None. Displacement: 49 cc. Induction: 18 mm CV carburetor with automatic choke. Ignition: CD. Bore and Stroke: Compression Ratio: Transmission: Automatic V-Matic belt drive. MSRP of the Ruckus should be the same as last year along with the same colorways. Warranty: Transferable one-year, unlimited-mileage limited warranty; extended coverage available with a Honda Protection Plan.
The two are very similar, just different, so you just have to ask yourself just exactly how 'Mad Max' you want to be. Engine: Liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke. Automatic Transmission: None. Wheelbase: Seat Height: Curb Weight: pounds. The Ruckus has a very simple four-stroke engine, and, all in all, there is only so much that can be changed on the model to keep the same price point.
I mean, just look at the pictures I left out a few of the midyear models and the pic is above, but you get the point. They've all got almost the exact same engine, with color schemes often being the differentiating factor from model year to model year. So, if you're willing to pay a few hundred more dollars for a scooter with a particular color, then maybe the newer models are something you would be interested in. Otherwise, I would have to recommend getting an older, used one like my model.
If you do happen to lose the cap for your coolant, don't order a new one! Over the top? Worth the money? No, probably not. Just shows that you can get a little creative with how you customize your ruck includes stunt and snow driving videos referenced above.
So the videos above give a couple ideas of things you can do but, to be honest, most of these guys go way over the top and then some. You'll be more than set with just a few things. Also in the video, the place where the guy rests his feet is actually the gas tank.
Small, right? Beyond these few customizations, feel free to throw a couple bucks into your scooter if you want, but don't go over the top with it. I've heard of people with modified Ruckuses hitting up to 75 mph, and even saw a video of a Ruck with hydraulics when I was searching around YouTube for the above video, but I don't really get this.
At the end of the day, one of the real perks about the Honda Ruckus is its price, and if money isn't a problem and you're trying to go 80 mph, you might be better off with a Harley. The Ruck is fine as is, but if you save up some money here and there, these are some additions that you can piecemeal together over time that will make your experience better.
If you had told me I would someday be the proud owner of a scooter, I would have probably laughed in your face; as a former three-sport varsity athlete I was "too cool" don't think that takes much though. There are no two ways about it, mopeds have a bad rap for being dorky, and maybe for good reason too.
But the Ruckus is just different. Last week I had a guy in a pickup pull up to me at a stoplight and ask what in the hell it was, and if I had made it. He said it was cool, and was blown away when I told him it was a moped, "So its a moped, but it just doesn't look like one? Now, having owned the Ruckus for years now, I couldn't be more happy with it. My friends are always asking to borrow it, it's fun, and with gas prices volatile and always on the rise, the idea of buying one makes that much more sense.
