Overview

The Honda Scooters RUCKUS is a scooter from 2012, powered by a 49 cm³ liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke SOHC engine with two valves. It weighs 88 kg.

At 734 mm, the seat height can make it easier for many riders to put a foot down at a stop, while the 88 kg weight helps with low-speed maneuvering. The front suspension has 1.9 in of travel and the rear has 2.6 in, leaving limited movement to absorb bumps; both wheels use drum brakes.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Automatic transmission

    The automatic CVT takes clutch and gear changes out of stop-and-go riding.

  • Light weight

    At 88 kg, the RUCKUS is easier to maneuver at low speeds and when parking.

Things to consider

  • Drum brakes at both ends

    The front and rear drum brakes offer less immediate braking response than disc brakes.

  • Limited suspension travel

    With 1.9 in of front travel and 2.6 in at the rear, the suspension has limited room to absorb larger bumps.
