  • I know I know. What the hell is going on here??!!? Well sometimes you change a bit. Or maybe sometimes life changes you. Whether it's the chicken or the egg I still love riding all my electric vehicles but wanted to mix it up a bit and part of my new commute has an opportunity to ride a new type of vehicle and learn some new skills with a heavier bike. So I went for something a little different.....And so far really digging it!! Slow by all means but truly purrs. Top speed limited but easy going and smooth as butter easy throttle . Loving the white and blue which pops nicely and people really check it out and notice it from the few rides Ive been on already. For you the rider though Its all a very nice chill ride on the 2022 Honda Ruckus for sure.
    For my area the only dealer was located pretty far away in Santa Maria CA but they delivered a great ride for me to enjoy. Def can recommend for anyone interested on the Central Coast. Chris the manager was great with the whole sale and Im a happy customer right now.

    Thanks for watching and as always hope you enjoyed the ride.

    I got a 22 black and grey one about a week ago, it was my first two wheel anything on the road. Had a guy on an enduro give me the “👌🏼” wave today so I’m officially a biker. “Anything that makes you smile when you get on it, that’s what it’s all about”

      Ahhh yeah Jason you know it bro jaja!!! Stoked for ya!! Yep your part of the club now for sure.....Fast slow big bike small bike etx all riders with experience usually respect anyone else with enough balls to get on any two wheels and ride. My plans after doing some local 20-40 milers is Id like to try a solo camping trip soon. Bring a can of gas, essential camping items, hit all the backroads, get somewhere cool and camp sounds like a sweet adventure and a totally Ruckus thing to do lol!! Whatever path your riding stay safe out there and enjoy your new ride my man!!~

      I'm about to get one, waiting on the paperwork before I pick it up. I've legitimately never driven anything beyond a bicycle. Do you think it's a good first timer scooter? I just want to make sure I don't get it and immediately do something like immediately wipe out hahaha.

      @@RoastBeefQueefSniffer I still drive mine and love it, I take it slightly off-road and just fish tail around with my friends on ATVs. Haven’t wiped out yet. Just remember wet ground leafs/pine needles will make you slide and the ruckus is slow so keep that in mind.

      @@MrKILLAKA thanks for the response. What do you wear for safety? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I know a helmet jacket and pants you can never go wrong but I don't even know what reliable brands there are. Also I keep reading conflicting things with braking on it. Do you use both handles at the same time. I hear it's focus more on the front and ease into the back. Basically let it slow down and brake gently, don't jam them because that can be bad haha.

      Thats funny you say that Shawn that was the crossroad I reached which one to buy first....The 2 variables of me being taller and a rider that doesn't trust myself with power I went with the Ruckus lol!!! Weird to own electric scooters more powerful than this but totally different ride for sure. A little separate skill set is needed to lean and turn on this thing. And its just cool to have something different....and actually kinda nice to hear a little purr underneath ya as well!! You said it best. Fun as hell is exactly what it is. Either way you go hope you get yours soon and thanks for dropping in!!~

      Rene super stoked I could show you the Ruckus!! I was recently like you....After seeing it somewhere I did my homework and was like WHAAA 20 years they've had this thing out for sale lol!!??!! Yes I turns out in California you do need a motorcycle license to drive the Honda Ruckus. At first I was like ahhh this sucks after riding ebikes and PEV's for 4 years bill and fee free but big picture for myself it's a blessing. Now Im enrolled in a motorcycle safety class that passes me automatically and best of all I get to learn real motorcycle skills they've been using for decades. After being on the road as a driver since 16 but not till 40 riding bikes with traffic, I admit I have a lot to learn still. Learning from real riders and real situations just gives you real knowledge and skill that most likely you will need at some time. Insurance is about $20 a month, nothing really. 114 mpg pays for that in days. :)

    • @jesv4026
      @jesv4026 2 роки тому

      I believe you only need your regular license and do not need a motorcycle license as long as the motorcycle is under 50 CC's most Honda ruckus are under 50cc's so no you do not need a motorcycle license if under 50ccs. Anything above 50 cc then yes you would need a motorcycle license.

      Funny thing is it is not faster!! Been 45mph on the 11+ and only downhill could the Ruckus do that.

      KD your going to need a motorcycle license if you live in California while other states have different laws so it just depends where you live. Been worth the effort for me so far as all I had to do was take a 20 question multiple choice test and pass to get a temporary motorcycle license that gives you a year to finally take the official test or just take a safety class that automatically passes you. Pretty easy and actually was headache free from the DMV, I was like "No way" lol!!

      You do not need a motorcycle license as long as the Honda ruckus is under 50cc's. If it exceeds the 50cc's then yes you need a motorcycle license. For example there are bikes that are 125 CC's or 150'ccs. At that point you would need a motorcycle license but not if it's under 50cc's
