Honda Ruckus
Is there anything more fun than zipping around town on an ultra-maneuverable scooter? How about hitting the trails with that same scooter! In researching scooters we found all types of options, from 500+ cc engines capable of touring the US to ultra efficient scooters that get 125mpg. But we didn’t find any scooter that was more fun to ride than the Honda Ruckus. The Ruckus is a lightweight scooter that's as at home on the city streets of Minneapolis as it is in the back-wood trails of Northern Minnesota. With a 49cc engine it’s not going to set any speed records but it will do 40 mph around town and get around 100 mpg, not a bad deal with ever rising gas prices. But this scooter is not only for those looking to save a few bucks on gas, it’s for anyone looking to liven up their commute and the weekend errands around town. As we’ve mentioned, the Ruckus scooter is fun, but at 3LUXE we go beyond the experience, this scooter has Honda’s reliability and is easy to use for anyone new to scootering. The 4–stroke engine is much quieter than we anticipated and with a push-button starter, it’s easy to get rolling. The baja style tires extend the boundaries of where you can go and provide a better ride on rough city streets. This “Best Of” motor scooter will make a great addition to any garage.

Isaac and I saw a Honda Ruckus this morning while biking to school - we both want a Ruckus. It's a fun scooter that appeals to the young (Isaac is 7) and the young at heart (the rider was at least 50).
