- I tried to keep as still as possible. I recorded this with my galaxy s6 so it was a little shaky. Everything is totally stock, it was about 90 degrees out while making this video. I am 5'9 and weigh 145 pounds. If you have any questions feel free to ask and thanks for watching!
Hey everyone! Update as of April 2020, the ruckus still runs to this day with like 15,000 miles on it. It has a new owner and he has the same passion for it as I did. My 2017 grom now has 20,000 miles on it, and my 2019 mt07 already has 10,000 on it.
50 cc still and adding mods will make it go even faster as they have a higher speed
I run mine wide open most of the.timeand get 90 mpg, but at 220 lbs. what would you expect!
bigger tired decrease speed but it's nice
cool...
Hey, that's a decent acceleration for such a small scoot.. It would help if you'd post your weight and height, as they can play a pretty big role. I like this scoot a lot.
I weigh 145 and I am 5'9. I took the video on a pretty warm day. I will post in the description thanks for the feedback :)
+Zane Pritchett I'm 5.10 200 . Do you think it would be much slower for me?
Mine has over 16,000 miles but two eng rebuilds plus the main engine. Mine tops out at 38 Mph but some have gotten 43 Mph. Must be the wight lol. How much do you way if you don't Mine.
Need to go out running
I don't have a Ruckus yet, I'm still deciding if it would be better for me to get Grom, I tested drove my car from work to home taking only the streets doing just under 40mph, stopping at almost every stop lights,, it actually took me about 12mins. I really like the Ruckus due to its easy customization, but might be a bit slow,, As for the Honda Grom, it's small and fast but maybe not as user friendly as a Ruckus. so I'm still confused right now, what you thing?
I personally would go for the grom. Its about the same had milage and its a load of fun. You will love that bike.
I am a daily ruckus rider, I would say it really depends on the roads you take to work/school. When I drive my big truck I hope on HWY 95 and get to work in 10 Min. When I take the Ruckus HWY 95 is not an option. I do the neighborhood routes except a few big roads going a short distance. I like that I can load and unload my Ruckus from my truck when I travel so I can save on gas when I am traveling. Good luck and go Ruck!
how much do you weigh and also what is your height? cool video too
+ant palmaro Thank you! I weigh about 140 pounds and im about 5'11
+Zane Pritchett Thanks for the quick reply!
+ant palmaro Thank you for watching. :)
Turn s out if you go from 180 down to 150 it runs faster got to go running more LOL but I like the Yamha 50 cc they go around 43 all day add a bit of some mods and you easily do 50 or better
Myself am around 200 and I like to get down to 150. I had a 50 pound bag of salt on the same moped so losing 50 pounds seems like you really get higher speeds.
I cant believe thats stock, are you sure its not been modified before you bought it? edit: i see you are going down hill now lol
Haha yeah lol its stock. However if you tuck it will go 42 on flats. Sitting up straight anywere from 35 ish to 38 ish. It depends on a lot of things.
My stock ruckus goes 35 ish on flat with no wind , and about 42 downhill then it starts to bog out , u gotta get the cpu
Can you ride these on the street without a drivers license?
Do you have to stay over on the right as a bicycle would?
Most areas you do need a license and you can ride them on the road if the speed limit is under 45. Mine tops out at 40 and I’ll still go on the highway I just ignore the honking as it’s barely 1 mile of distance to the town I live in
does it get 100mpg while at full throttle/full speed?
I found it to get roughly 90 mpg wide open all the time. It seems to get best mpg around 35 mph depending on conditions.
Here in California you have to have a M2 license to operate a motorcycle 50cc or less, M1 license to ride a 120cc or more how about Indiana?
Hey sorry for the late reply. For Indiana, anything 49cc and under all you need is some sort of a valid state ID and you must be at least 15 years of age. Anything above 49cc you must have a liscence and insurance
Mi M2 easy to get
I am 5'8 1/2", weighing 220, my 2017 Stock Ruck will run 37 on a flat, before the governor kicks in, never saw a stock one run any faster. Believe you dis something to it to reset the governor.
Just changed the pully weights but that was original gov.
Im interested in buying one because so far its the only 50cc 4 stroke ive found that has a backup kickstart, is faster than 28mph and is a quality brand, looks and style mean nothing to me with bikes and cars they are just transport.
Yeah man nothing wrong with that. I daily ride my ruckus 30 miles a day to school and back. 6100 miles and counting and absolutely 0 problems with it other than oil changes and thats it. Its a great little bike!
+Zane Pritchett Good stuff. Im looking at the zoomer which is identical I think. Only downside I can see is fuel capacity, its less than half of my Italjet Formula 50.
+GibsonLesPaul2273 The zooma is the name they give the ruckus in other countries I think. The fuel capacity for the ruckus is 1.3 gallons. I havn't ever had a problem on long trips finding a gas station personaly.
+GibsonLesPaul2273 I like your name by the way. I personaly own a Joe Satriana Ibanez and a Fender telecaster myself and for acoustic I play a big baby taylor.
+Zane Pritchett I wonder if thats because its 4 stroke, maybe 1.3 gallons lasts as long as 2 gallons on a 2 stroke, I dont know. Very tempted to get one, they hold their value so well.
I just bought a 2018 Honda ruckus and I was wondering.. If it Did any damage to the motor because I Did 40mph 2X and haven't done it sense.. So did I hurt it in any way as of now.?? Just wondering 😓
no. it has a rev limiter. you can sit at 40mph all day and not do any damage to it.
+Doctor Cat ...Thanks for getting back to Me! 😊 and I've got another question... Since it's New.. Why does it always sound like it's going to die.? or boggles down . I don't know the correct terminology for it.. In fact . I know nothing what-so-ever about scooters/mopeds 😟 hopefully that will change soon 😀
heyo. what do you mean it sounds like it's going to die or bogs? like what are you doing when it makes that sound? if you mean sitting at a stoplight, it's a single cylinder, aka a "thumper" so it's going to be vibrating and "thumping" at a slow speed such that you can feel it. There's no second cylinder moving the opposite direction to offset the other one moving up. If you mean when you first get on the gas it seems like it bogs, that's the CVT aka the transmission. It uses weights and centrifugal force to change the gearing. I recommend looking at HOWSTUFFWORKS and seeing how a CVT works. I'm gonna do a video explaining it on my channel soon!
When it is first new you are to break it in first 100 miles before doing full throttle bigger bikes dont really need this also aways let it warm up 5 min should do just like a car never start and take off right away bad on the engine and no mine dose not do that
@@jasonmarshall7401 yea b4 vtec hits
when i ride stock ruckus i feel like riding on a lawn mower
I have a 2018 but it limits itself at 60km/h
How dose your go faster
Performance modifications?
Went downhill at 45 before the limiter kicked in. Uphill=25, yikes.
taht was the boggiest start i ever saw it almost made me not want to get one.
how many CC's is it?
49 cc.
about 40 mph
RC Oh yeah
Get a Yamaha they are way better and a bit faster
Jason Marshall I have a grom now
do cops ever give you a problem while rideing these ruckus bike?
In Indiana, I have never gotten pulled over. I have passed cops zipping through town and playing around on it and they have never done more than kindly wave at me. Check your local laws and you shouldnt have any problems. I also always wear a dot approved helmet and that helps.
+Troy H Indiana laws state you must have a DOT approved helmet.
+Troy H Oh okay I gotcha. Thanks for the explanation!
I got stopped once in the small community just north of where I lived. Cop only wanted to see my DL licence. When asked why I was stopped, he said, 90% of old guys riding theses scooters have had their DL taken, so they think they can ride this without any licence at all! No problem for me because not only do I have my licence but also have motorcycle added code!
My electric bike goes faster
Who cares
