Got the idea off one of the ruckus forums.
Schwinn bicycle seat from walmart, mounted to the back of the seat frame. Still waiting on the foot pegs. 
Flips back too so I can get to the underseat storage.

Fuck that. I'd never let my wife ride on the back of that. Looks like a wreck waiting to happen. I'm eyeing a Ducati Scrambler right now for a little hipster bike.

Ain't pretty. They have zero acceleration with a 240# bastard (me) and 100# college hottie on them. |

You are really diggin' the new scooter.
They ride fine with two, with the proportionate loss of acceleration and power of course. Which of course means now you're gonna have to upgrade the air intake, the jets and exhaust next. Enjoy yourselves, be careful out there! Cheers! -JC |

What keeps the seat locked, in the down position?
Can the seat roll back, if the center of gravity moves back (under hard acceleration *cough*)? Don't want the lady dumped on the ground. |

Not only should OP have cleared the sticker with you before applying it, but I think he needs to rethink the entire purpose of owning the Ruckus. |

You were under the impression that threads on GD were all meant to be a big circle jerk where we all got together, held hands, sang songs and made sure that nobodys' Feelz got hurt while we express our praise through poetry and interpretive dance. Boo Fucking Hoo on me for having, and actually expressing, a different opinion. Maybe you should have your Mommy write a note to the Principal about it. |

All us moto dudes rode the fuck out of scooters in high school. We'd roll up to football practice in our little posse and fuck shit up. Always had em with our bikes in trucks and vans as pit bikes too. The Zuma and Ruckus are cool scoots and a lot of fun.

http://i.imgur.com/lx024lu.jpg Hard acceleration with 2 people on a 49cc scooter? lol She will be instructed to hold on tight to me, and keep her weight forward. Like I said, most likely she will only be on when cruising the beach towns going 15 mph in all the beach traffic. |

We use to hit jumps and try hill climbing with ours. One buddy showed up to school on a Zuma with full gear. Helmet, goggles, boots, pants, Jersey, even a leatt brace. It was hilarious. |
