Low center of gravity. I can beat the pants off any Ruckus any day of the week. My Vespa is a 250...same as the Ruckus, but there is no way you can catch me..they don't take turns very well..just a longer wheelbase. You can get the Ruckus to do better that stock. I rode the 50 in the MSF course. I like them. Opposite of a Vespa..stripped down, low..and sluggish and not nimble..but you ride, so you could work the turns..and work the bike so you can get the dang thing uphill faster than 45 mph...
Sometimes I think I want a Big Ruckus. Paint it like a military bike, mount some ammo cases on it..awesome.
I will keep my ears open and see what I come up with.
Scooters might just become camping equipment..good for ice runs!!
Ok..back to projects in line...I just opened my vintage Re-Web Kit..for re webbing my vintage folding lawn chairs for the Grasshopper. I know my set up will never be as good as Doug's, but I do want it to look good....dang..I've got to get that Aristocrat out of the driveway so I can bring over my Grasshopper....then I'll be working on "fixing" up the truck....
It never ends, does it??
